The Sipper does it all. Wakes, Chugs, Pops and most importantly it catches fish. With the unique head design this allows you to fish a top water fly where the fish can actually see the full baitfish profile subsurface. It has characteristics of a gurgler, a popper and a diver. You can scale this tie to match any size baitfish for your area or target species.

Use slow short constant twitches for a waking action to simulate a dying baitfish or use long aggressive strips for a popper and diver style action.

Redfish, Jacks, Snook, Bass and Juvenile Tarpon all love this fly.
