Big Fish Deceiver - Blue / White

The Big Fish Deceiver keeps the same proven silhouette and ups the profile with a longer, more substantial build for targeting larger, more aggressive fish. When you need a fly that pushes a clear baitfish signal and holds up to hard chargers, this is a reliable choice for offshore and inshore predators alike, including roosterfish, dorado, and trevallies.

The Deceiver is one of those patterns that just keeps earning its spot, season after season. It's simple, clean, and it flat-out looks like a baitfish, which is exactly why so many predators commit to it.

• Size 3/0

Widely credited to Lefty Kreh and developed in the late 1950s for Chesapeake Bay striped bass, the Deceiver became a staple because it throws a clean baitfish silhouette and was designed to reduce the fouling problems common in earlier streamer styles. It is more of a design concept than a single exact recipe, which is why it has been tied in so many lengths and color combinations over the years.

The Big Fish Deceiver - Blue/White takes that proven profile and scales it up for larger, more aggressive saltwater predators. The longer silhouette is easy for fish to track, and the classic blue and white baitfish look is a safe bet when you want a clear, simple presentation that still moves water and shows presence.
