Jimmy’s Sand Shark Fly

Jimmy's Sand Shark Fly for Guitarfish - Mohawk Punk Kwan

Flies designed by the Sand shark expert Jimmy Eagleton, and tied by Ryan Wojt.
Four bead chain eyes to help it sit correctly and to give them a bit of a rattle.
The Circle hooks avoid foul hooking, and the hackle over the hook helps to tickle the shark before it feels the hook.

Made in South Africa.

Method: Cast the Mohawk Punk Kwan Fly ahead of the sand shark / guitarfish so that fish is heading towards fly. Drag your fly to the point of intersection as the fish gets closer. When fish's eye is in line with fly give a twitch to get its attention. Follow that with long slow pull to keep tension on the line. You will know when that fish is hooked, so be ready to hang on for the ride.

A 6wt outfit with with a sinking or lead core line and a short leader is ideal.
Tying a tungsten bead into the rapala knot loop, It helps the fly sink faster and acts as an anchor.

Pro Tip for Jimmy's Sand Shark Fly: Tie a 4mm tungsten bead into your tippet knot loop. It helps the fly go down and settle faster.
