Ascension Bay Mantis Bead Chain

The Ascension Bay Mantis is a great E.P. shrimp pattern that has proven itself as a top-producing Permit fly not only in its namesake bay in Mexico, but all over the Caribbean and everywhere that you find permit. This fly will also work on big bonefish, like those you will find in the Bahamas, Hawaii, Christmas Island, or the Seychelles.  Chasing the elusive and very picky Trigger fish? Show them an Ascension Bay Mantis and watch them turn to grab it.  This version has bead chain eyes - which is great for shallow waters and delicate presentations. These are also available with heavier lead eyes. Best to have a few of each, as you never know what the tides will bring.
