The Sump

A compact, heavy, and highly responsive mini streamer designed for anglers who want the profile of a baitfish with the control of a jig. It gets down fast, stays in the strike zone, and has a sharp snapping action. Whether you're fishing deep, undercut banks, or fast transitions, The Sump can dig in and pull fish out. 

When to fish it: This fly is perfect for cold water, deep pools and ledges, fast runs when you need the fly to sink quick, and lakes when fish are along drop-offs or near the bottom. It is a stand out in early and late season but works all year when the fish want a subtle, compact meal. 

How to fish it: Fish on a sink tip with short punchy strips to make the fly dart and kick. Let it drop between strips - this is what will trigger the reactions. In lakes, slow-dragging near the bottom with occasional hop is extremely effective. In rivers, throw tight to structure and give it room to fall into pockets before moving it. 

Why I love it: It's small, fast and deadly. The Sump gives you depth control of a jig but the natural movement of a streamer. It's easy to cast, sinks like a rock, and gets eaten in water when bigger patterns are being ignored. A must have for anglers who want tactical, precise, streamer fishing. This is a great ice fishing streamer due to its amazing jigging action and ability to get down deep.
