Here it is - the Neutralizer Castable Fly...
It's been a long wait, but everyone that has been asking for that articulated fly build, horizontal eyelets and exchangeable hooks is finally getting what they want!
This build features three independent sections that are EACH keel weighted and buoyant. The rear or 'tail' section actually floats while the front two sections are stock built with a super slow sink. All together they function as a neutral presentation which is an ultra-slow sink with MAXIMUM hang time and a tail that kicks up after every pulse through the water.
This can be fished as a 15" profile when using as 3 sections, a 10" profile when using 2 sections, and a 5" profile with just the rear section (just snap on some weight here to get the nose down in small mode). Your spare sections also function as a more buoyant bucktail body with similar uses to our X Changer Bucktails with various functioning attachments. The possibilities are endless! Match what the fish want and dial it in...
Compatible interchangeable parts also include the Snap-On Weights that connect to the split rings at any section - to apply just the right amount of sink at the right spot on the bait for situational fishing. Add a 'pop color' to the tail with dressed hooks in various colors (visit the SPECIALTY HOOKS section for these). Hand-tied weedless hooks are an option on these flies for those who desire it. For those who like to have a head or eyes for the fish to hone-in on, there are optional Foam Bait Heads that are easily attached with a Double-Lok Snap.
Each section has two build points for generous amounts of premium feathers which are added around a blend of flash materials. These soft materials are still working their magic when the inside of the bait comes to a pause - an absolute trigger for the muskies!
Each thread wrap is 4X coated with UV Fly Resins and glitter for a durable, hard shell.
Total dry weight of 1.8 oz. (Wet weight for casting is approximately double that)
