Hot Flies

In an effort to keep your fly box fresh and loaded with the best patterns around FRA has this to offer, Rob Kolanda's Bellyache Minnow.

"This fly was originally designed to be a shad imitation, but due to limitless color combination's and sizes this pattern can mimic almost any bait fish.  Another great feature of the 'Bellyache Technology' is that the fly rides hook up so you can work deep cover and significantly reduce the number of hang ups.  This fly has caught lists of coldwater species, warmwater species and because of the hook a number of saltwater fish."
