tightlinesfisherman 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2010 I have heard great things about seducers when going after reds - does anyone have any color recommendations or interesting tricks? Success stories? I read a post on another topic that was talking about putting bead chain eyes close to the bend in the hook - does anyone have feedback on this? Thanks for the help. I'm heading to the coast this weekend and need some help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

White body (feather or zonker strip) Red collar (Feather, cross cut rabbit, Polar bear, etc.) works great Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kirk Dietrich 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2010 Tight Lines, the Seaducer is a great fly for redfish and many predators. Of course you can tie bead chain if you want it to sink. However, there are many flies that sink that you can use. The beauty of a seaducer is its soft, gentle entry in the water and its slow sinking almost suspending nature that pushes a good amount of water when twitched. It does sink but slowly enough to keep it in the strike zone real nicely. Although I mention shallow water, it is good for deep water where the fish are in the upper water column, its slow sinking nature is like a wounded baitfish slowly sinking. It is great like this for speckled trout (spotted seatrout). I like black and red or purple grizzly mixed feathers, all tan or brown grizzly, white and chartreuse mixed. I'll often tie in a forked weedguard up front for fishing weedy or oyster bottomed waters. Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert M 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2010 Great flies for any fish that eats other fish. Red/white, black/red, chart/green,chart/white, purple/white, tan/orange, brown/black or orange. Use dark colors in darker stained water lighter colors in clearer water. Soft hackle or marabou for more movement, save the bead chain for another pattern these work best plain so they can fall slowly like they were designed to do.
