Information
Welcome to the BOWLES OUTDOORS Custom tackle store! We specialize in hand-crafted flies and jigs, designed in IDAHO for the all anglers. Our online shop offers quality fishing tackle designed to catch fish, not fishermen.
These flies are a smaller profile than most hoochies and other lures. I feel my flies more closely matches the shrimp and food kokanee eat. Each double hook fly is tied on 36 inch leaders and #4 Gamakatsu dropshot/splitshot hooks. The main body is either Pink Glow, Yellow Glow or Orange Glow. I add a few strands of flash to each fly for added attraction. Flies are tied long giving you the ability to customize length.
