Because it doesnt sink too wekk, i've found that theyre best used on a sinking style line.......sink tip/intermediate/full sink...etc.

Anywhere you'd cast for baitfish feeders, this simple imitator will work.

Tied inverted and fished along shallow channel edges, its a handy fly for flathead.

You can also slow troll them past a FAD or beacon for rat hings and Dolphinfish....if you dont mind "cheating".

They would....but...there are better flies to get a cods attention.

Fat Alberts, or pink things which push more water and therefore make more vibration will get a cods attention much better.

Caught a few Cod on deceivers mainly chartreuse and in shallow water. Use a fulll inter sink line and short leader (under 1.5 m). Tie mine weighted with lead wire. They work better with a rattle fitted along the shank, adds the wake up factor.
