tied by Mathias Ibsen
Brought to you by Ahrex Hooks!
“The grand-old-man in saltwater-flyfishing and -tying Bob Veverka created the famous pattern The Mantis Shrimp. The fly has proven its ability to imitate shrimps and to “fool” saltwater-fish in big numbers – and it is a must-have in every bonefishers fly-box. In this video we have teamed up once again with Mathias “Krølle” Ibsen who ties his version of the all-time-classic, an easy-to-tie fly Mathias has caught a big number of nice bonefish on.”
