Schmidt's Reefer Mantis

The Reefer Mantis is a fantastic bonefish pattern! Whether you are fishing in the Bahamas, Mexico, Belize, or pretty much anywhere bonefish are present, this fly will get you into them! Tied to represent the mantis shrimp, which is deadly for both bonefish and permit. The lightweight feel to this fly makes it a great option when targeting permit and bonefish in lagoons and other shallow water scenarios.
