Peanut Bunker - Grey & White

The Peanut Bunker is a slim, lightweight baitfish pattern built to imitate juvenile menhaden — one of the most important forage fish on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The grey and white colorway nails the natural coloration of a small bunker, and the sparse, flowing profile pushes just enough water to get noticed without spooking fish in clear, shallow conditions.

Tied by North Country Flies on a size #2 hook, this fly casts easily on a 7- or 8-weight, lands softly, and swims with a lifelike shimmy on the strip. It’s equally at home chasing striped bass in the Northeast, redfish on the Gulf flats, or snook along mangrove edges. If you’re heading to the coast and need a versatile baitfish pattern that covers a lot of ground, the Peanut Bunker belongs in your box. Pick one up at Glenwood Springs Outdoors before your next trip.
