Overview
The SPRO Phat Flies were designed to take float-and-fly fishing to a new level. Not only designed to catch fish in the harshest conditions, Bill Siemantel designed these jigs to catch big California trophy bass. Colors painstakingly matched to the most prevalent baitfish in North American waters. Perfectly balanced to sit horizontal under the bobber. Built with the worlds sharpest Gamakatsu hooks. The SPRO Phat Flies are the best on the market, period!

quality not so greatI love Spro , I've fished with their stuff for years, but the hair on these, half of it fell off just taking out of the package, so crap!, I guess I'll tie it back on myself to at least try the bait since the reviews are good, but disappointed to say the least.

Comments: I first bought them for the cold water application but struck out with no luck. Then one day after I already lost most of search baits, I decided to use these since they were with me in the tackle box of that trip. After 10 casts, I caught my first and largest striper on this. My opinion: buy them if you're targeting stripers. Though the Gamakatsu hook is small, it is tough enough to within the strikes of stripers and not bend. I also hooked a 4-5 lb largemouth, but it came off because I was disappointed that it wasn't a striper. This lure is definitely a keeper as it catches all sorts of bass.

Comments: Threw these phat flys today for the first time. Limited out on crappies. Great hooks, no fish lost.

Comments: Phenomenal, currently my favorite lure to throw in any condition; slow retrieve, jerk jerk cadence, fish just loves this lure.

Comments: These are amazing for getting fish to bite. I use them on a 6'Light (preferably) or a 7'ML spinning rod with light braid to leader. I cast these with either a crappie sized grub trailer or tiny fluke style bait behind them. Have not caught any huge fish with them, but they have enticed a few 2-3lb smallmouth bass in colder months. Overall a great lure. I wish they made a 3/16 size with a slightly bigger hook, but not quite as big as the bass size hair jigs SPRO sells.

Comments: With the float & fly technique using this lure I've caught a 5.8lb zander, a 4.8lb carp and also some bass and a pumpkinseed sunfish. They work for many species and they catch big fish too! I use them in all seasons. They're not just for winter. In summer, when there are a lot of small fish in the lakes these lures are a great option. I use them even in dirty water. Use the chartreuse ghost color in dirty water.

Comments: really good hair jigs. the only ones that i will use. I got the bluegill color and the bass were tearin it up.. I originally bought these for clear water lakes(lake mead, and havasu) after watching some vids on youtube, but i decided to throw them on a stained water lake and it worked really well. they are also good for bluegills and crappie too.
Comments: Early early spring in cold water these little guys cannot be beat on a float and fly!!! These are AMAZING! and the hooks are VERY sharp and sticky! i love the colors bluegill and baby bass. These are the only things i could catch ANYTHING on in the cold water on a float and fly! Im buying a ton more!

Comments: Quality is ok, but the colors are bland and haven't found anyone of them to really keep up with the numbers and quality of fish caught with the custom flies I buy.
