The Mantis Shrimp in Tan is a mantis shrimp imitation on a size 6 hook with bead-chain eyes, from Enrico Puglisi. Mantis shrimp are a favored bonefish food on many flats.
Fish it along the bottom with slow strips, keeping it in front of feeding fish. The tan coloration and bead-chain sink rate suit shallow, clear flats.
On the flats, a quiet presentation and a slow, steady strip usually outperform extra casting distance.
