I use this fly for salmon in the salt water on 8# or 9#. 24' sink tip 300 -350 grain. 15#+ mono with loop knot. Chinook or silvers. Sea run trout also love to follow this fly. 2# is to large for the average size trout around most of the year. Also have caught some trevally. Reminds me of the bango minnow. Will catch fish anywhere fish eat other fish.
