Product reviews of Rod Hamilton 15 Piece Bonefish Do It Yourself Fly Collection

Matt Van Hoof : Four Stars

Great flies. Worked great for my trip to the Keys!

J. Koch : Excellent Quality and Value for Bonefishing.

These flies are a good assortment of what an angler needs on a bone fishing trip to the flats. These aren't your standard Charlies or Gotchas that the bones see everyday, they are very fishy flies that will catch spooky fish. Quality is great and price is even better! Where else can you get a Greg's Flats Fly in an assortment box that is affordable? Buy it or a couple is even better.

Daniel Bumgardner : Loved these flies!!

Great product!

Ryan M. : Guide approved

I picked up a box of these for a recent (9/2021) trip to Cozumel. I scheduled a day of flats fishing and thought maybe I could use these other places on the island. When we landed on the beach the guide setup the rod I brought and asked if I had any flys. I took out the box and he said the flys will work bueno.
I hooked into 6-7 bones that day and all were caught on these flys. I had more chances but I don’t cast floating line very often so my presentations were weak. But most of my good casts produced bites.
