Johan Put - Bass Flies

Johan Put’s Nayat Baitfish.

Simple. Sparse. Lethal.

This is one of those patterns that doesn’t try too hard — it just works. Tied with premium Nayat for that natural taper and movement, it breathes in the water without bulking up or killing the cast. You get profile without weight. Exactly what you want when you’re covering ground for bass.

The fibres collapse on the strip and flare on the pause, giving that wounded baitfish kick that triggers eats. Big eyes for a proper target point. Slim head so it tracks straight. No gimmicks.

For UK bass this is money around structure, tide lines and surf edges. It pushes just enough water to get noticed, but stays subtle enough when they’re pressured. Fish it on an intermediate or floating line, steady strips with the odd pause — let the material do the talking.

It’s not flashy. It’s not overbuilt.

It’s just a proper baitfish that bass want to smash.
