Striper Swiper: This is a new and creative Striper pattern from the creative vice of Gil Berke that is just a superb baitfish imitation. This pattern has heavy eyes and a hollow woven Mylar body that combine to let the fly fish deep with ease yet give it a substantial silhouette in the water. This has been one of our most popular selling striper patterns of late. This fly is best fished with a sinking line and a leader of 8 to 9 feet.
