Grand Slam Epoxy Minnow

Epoxy flies are extremely effective on a large variety of saltwater gamefish. It's not unusual to take a striper, a bluefish, and a false albacore or a bonito on one of our Epoxy Minnows in the same day, and a huge number of Stripers, Blues, Bonito, False Albacore, Snook, and other species fall for epoxy patterns each year. The realistic appearance and durable nature of these flies makes them some of the best flies to have in your box. This has been one of our top-selling flies whenever we have been able to offer it, but due to the difficult nature of making this type of fly, quantities remain limited.

Grand Slam Epoxy Minnow (Circle Hook)

Flies tied on circle hooks are gaining in popularity among anglers chasing a variety of species. For this pattern we've combined the proven design of our Grand Slam Epoxy minnow with the hooking power of a circle hook. An excellent choice for striped bass, false albacore (little tunny) and bonito; the circle hook helps to hook these fish securely in the corner of the mouth. Circle hooks also helps prevent hooking fish deep in the throat or gills. Quantities are limited.

Our Grand Slam Epoxies are tied on Tiemco's super sharp 800S series hook #2...this fly is approximately 3 1/4 inches in length. The Circle Hook version is tied on the Mustad C71S #1/0, and is a slightly larger fly at approximately 4 inches (10 cm) in length. This is our number one pattern for bonito and false albacore. Fish the Chartreuse for sand eels, and the Brown/Gold fly to imitate Rainbait or Bay Anchovy. Tied by Blake Davis.

Fishing the Epoxy Minnow: This fly works well while sight casting to actively feeding fish. The Epoxy Minnow is mainly a daytime fly which works equally well for both shore and boat fishing. For species actively feeding at the surface, cast to the area where fish are feeding, or cast to individual fish if possible. Retrieve steadily with a medium speed. In areas with heavy current, try a dead-drift presentation or cast across the current and let the fly swing...this can be deadly at times. If fish refuse your presentation, try a different color, vary the speed of the retrieve, or add a pause between strips. This fly resists fouling during rapid-fire casts to fish like false albacore, making for perfect presentations cast after cast.
