{"product_id":"ep-bead-chain-eye-ghost-shrimp-fly","title":"EP Bead Chain Eye Ghost Shrimp Fly","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe EP Bead Chain Eye Ghost Shrimp is an excellent pattern designed to fool the wariest bonefish and permit on the flats. Imitating a small, translucent shrimp, this fly has earned a reputation as a \"must-have\" for anglers targeting spooky fish in shallow, clear water. Its realistic profile and subtle movement make it an essential tool when standard patterns are refused, offering a stealthy presentation that lands softly without spooking your target.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBead Chain Eyes\u003c\/strong\u003e - Unlike heavier lead eyes, the bead chain eyes provide just enough weight to sink the fly into the feeding zone without creating a loud splash. This lighter weight is critical for fishing skinny water where a heavy impact would send fish running.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEP Fibers Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e - Tied with Enrico Puglisi's signature synthetic fibers, this fly achieves a perfect balance of durability and translucency. The material sheds water instantly on the backcast, making it easy to cast, while maintaining a lifelike, semi-transparent silhouette underwater that mimics a real shrimp's shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicro-Movement Legs\u003c\/strong\u003e - The addition of fine rubber legs and a touch of flash creates subtle, lifelike movement even when the fly is at rest. These appendages vibrate with the slightest current or strip, acting as a powerful trigger for investigating fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrip and Pause Retrieve\u003c\/strong\u003e - This fly is most effective when fished with a strip-and-pause cadence that mimics a shrimp darting for cover. Make a cast to a cruising or tailing fish, let the fly settle, and use short, erratic strips followed by a pause to let the legs splay out and entice a strike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSight Fishing Shallow Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e - Use this pattern specifically when stalking fish in water less than two feet deep. It is an excellent choice for \"nervous water\" scenarios where fish are on high alert and a delicate presentation is the only way to get an eat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eConditions \/ Season\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EP Ghost Shrimp shines in high-visibility conditions, particularly on bright, sunny days with clear water. Its translucent body glows naturally in the sunlight, matching the surroundings of sandy or grassy bottoms perfectly. It is a go-to pattern for mid-day tides when the sun is high and fish are most skeptical of artificial offerings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProfile \/ Action\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fly features a sparse, realistic shrimp profile that does not bulk up or look unnatural in the water. It sinks at a moderate rate, hovering enticingly in the water column or resting gently on the bottom with its tail up, perfectly imitating a defensive shrimp posture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMore Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImitates:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shrimp, Mantis Shrimp, Small Crustaceans\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adult\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bonefish, Permit, Redfish, Snook\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enrico Puglisi","offers":[{"title":"2 \/ Tan","offer_id":49207715528937,"sku":"SKU693728010804-LG029","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 \/ Pink","offer_id":49207715561705,"sku":"SKU693728010828-LG052","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 \/ Tan","offer_id":49207715594473,"sku":"SKU693728010842-LG051","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/1846\/1673\/files\/enrico-puglisi-flies-ep-bead-chain-eye-ghost-shrimp-fly-1199936243.webp?v=1761926058","url":"https:\/\/www.tridentflyfishing.com\/products\/ep-bead-chain-eye-ghost-shrimp-fly","provider":"Trident Fly Fishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
