Tied and designed by Musky Fool’s Tim O’Connor, the Rizzler is a weighted, articulated bulkhead fly. The Rizzler is designed to get down deeper than your traditional Buford or bulkhead fly, while maintaining the action we like in these unweighted patterns. Often, a river pig is used for deeper presentations, but a river pig falls head first. The Rizzler falls more level and kicks side-to-side on the strip, offering more versatility in weighted fly presentations. This is also a great fly to get down deeper without having to switch to a faster sinking line, saving time between presentation changes. The rear shank comes with a solid welded ring(#5) attached, split ring on a rear hook if desired!
Tied on an Ahrex PR370 #6/0, with a 28mm Monster Shank in the rear.
Total fly length is about 8 inches.
