Complete Selection of Bass Flies for Sale
Shop 40+ bass fly patterns hand-selected for consistent strikes on largemouth and smallmouth bass across rivers, lakes, and ponds nationwide. Our selection covers 3 essential fly categories proven to catch fish.
Topwater bass flies create the surface explosions bass anglers love. Our deer hair frogs, foam poppers, and mouse patterns maintain buoyancy without waterlogging. Fish them across lily pads, along shorelines, and near fallen timber. Available in 8 color combinations including frog, chartreuse, white, and camo patterns.
Subsurface flies for largemouth bass include bead head Wooly Buggers, Clouser Minnows, and crayfish patterns that bounce along the bottom. These streamers imitate the primary food sources bass hunt daily. Our subsurface patterns use durable deer hair, closed-cell foam, and UV-resistant synthetics that survive multiple aggressive strikes from bass and pike.
Every fly pattern passes our 3-part field test. First, it catches bass consistently in real fishing conditions across multiple water bodies. Second, anglers with basic casting skills can fish it successfully. Third, it survives multiple fish without deteriorating. We eliminated patterns that look attractive in the shop but fail to perform on the water.
