Since creating the Crouser fly, Ive often been asked for custom versions suited for tropical anglers targeting bonefish and permit. The original Crouser was a bit large and heavy for these wary fish, so the Shrouser evolved through custom orders as a smaller, softer-landing, jiggy, shrimpy variation. Designed with smaller hooks, a jig-style profile, ice dub hot spot, and shrimp/crab eyes, it works beautifully for bonefish, permit, striped bass on flats, redfish, snook, and more, with color schemes to match its refined look.
