Mantis Shrimp

- FlySmith Flies

Size: #4 | Colors: Olive, Tan

This ain’t your grandma’s shrimp pattern—unless your grandma ties stone-cold killer flies and throws lasers at tailing reds. The Mantis Shrimp by Flysmith Flies is one of those signature flies that walks the line between subtle and "hot damn, that thing’s alive." It moves like trouble, lands like a whisper, and flutters like it owes the flats money.

Built on a strong #4 hook and tied in proven olive and tan, this little mud ninja is a top-tier choice for redfish, bonefish, and other picky flats dwellers who’ve seen every badly tied shrimp on the planet. Pink barred legs, hot-colored dumbbell eyes, a trimmed head that breathes, and a tail that says, “Come get it, you crustacean-chompin’ bastard.”

• Tied with premium dubbing, flash, and movement that dares fish not to eat it

• Hook size #4 – strong enough to hold up when things get sideways

• Great for clear or stained flats when you need a shrimp with real side-eye attitude

• Signature fly from Flysmith Flies – because if you're gonna fool fish, do it in style

Fish it slow, twitch it fast—doesn’t matter. This fly is gumbo for the flats: thick, spicy, and nobody turns it down.
