DriCast Hodag

The Hodag fly came about on the musky waters of The Moe Lake Chain in Rhindlander WI, home of the mythical creature The Hodag.  This fly was designed to imitate carp, a common forage of the fish of 10,000 casts.  Carp are found in warm waters throughout the US.  This fly is also very versatile, it is also great for Pike, Bass, Snook and Golden Dorado.

 

What does DriCast mean?  Bucktail can be stiff and not natural.  Marabou is lively, but can get waterlogged and heavy on large patterns. New synthetic fiber development has made it possible to have the best of both worlds. The fibers we use are softer than bucktail but stiffer than marabou, and they undulate in the water to imitate the natural movement of baitfish.  The great thing about these materials is they shed water quickly on your backcast, up to 80%, hence the term DriCast. This means you are concentrating more on fly placement and less on chucking a water-logged fly. 

All flies are tied on stainless steel saltwater grade hooks and are built to last.  These are our guide series flies where performance and durability are a premium.
