Kreelex - Silver/Gold

Description

Designed by Chuck Kraft, the Kreelex Minnow has become a modern staple for anglers targeting trout, bass, and other freshwater predators. The Kreelex Minnow is one of those patterns that defies the principles of “imitation,” consisting of nothing but flash. It doesn’t resemble a baitfish in conventional terms, but functions much like a spoon lure—reflecting light the way sun glints off the scales of a fleeing minnow. The result is a remarkably effective pattern that produces from Montana rivers all the way down to Patagonia.

Built from highly reflective Kreelex flash material, this fly offers an irresistible combination of shimmer, movement, and durability. Unlike natural materials that can mat down in the water, the Kreelex maintains its lively motion through every strip, darting and pulsing like a fleeing baitfish. The bead-chain or dumbbell eyes get the fly down quickly and provide a jigging action that triggers aggressive strikes. Easy to cast and nearly indestructible, the Kreelex is an ideal choice for covering water and searching for active fish.

Whether stripped in stillwaters for trout or swung through rivers for bass, the Kreelex Minnow is a proven, versatile pattern that deserves a permanent spot in your fly box and one of our Top Streamers for Trout.
