SaltFlys Bendback Flies
Proper construction of Bendback Flies is critical to its weedless nature and ability to hook the fish. I’ve seen far too many poorly designed bendback flies which have no chance of hooking a fish due to the way the hook is bent. I’ve seen bendback flies which are simply over-dressed, thinking this will improve their weedless qualities. SaltFlys Bendback Flies have the correct bend in the hook, and not over-dress with material. They are built to hook snook, redfish, and seatrout in the deepest grass. They are built to perform!

For those of you who might be interested in building your own bendback flies, I have an old video on YouTube. Granted, there are several brands out there who produce bendback hooks at a premium price. I actually worked with Gamakatsu on one of them. However, you can make your own. My video explains the subtlety of how to bend a hook correctly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25oncoC1dWA
