So says Charlie Bisharat, inventor of one of the most revolutionary flies in recent memory, the Pole Dancer.

Born of Charlie’s “love for topwater stripers”, the Pole Dancer was designed to imitate the action of conventional lures like the Zara Spook and the Lunker Plunker. As experienced bass and striper anglers know, this zig-zag, ‘walk-the-dog’ action mimics the movement of a wounded baitfish, and is far more enticing to big-shouldered fish than any ordinary in-line retrieve.

The Pole Dancer fly achieves this unique action in large part thanks to its molded foam head, which builds water pressure on one side of the fly when retrieved with sharp stripping motions and causes the fly to veer from left to right and back again.

For the Pole Dancer to achieve this action, everything about the fly must be in balance. To ensure this, the head is held neutral by weight placed toward the back of the shank, and tail materials are kept evenly distributed by a beefy monofilament anti-fouling guard.

Beyond these functional design attributes, the Pole Dancer has a few nice touches that are characteristic of almost any fly that’s successful with predatory fish: big eyes and a red ‘bleeding’ gill slit add a level of realism that help seal the deal.

Though it was first developed for stripers on the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta system, the Pole Dancer fly has done very well in tropical settings, particularly in Baja, for roosterfish and sierra mackerel. Just like Mr. Bisharat’s other pattern, Charlie’s Airhead, the Pole Dancer makes an outstanding go-to topwater fly in any scenario. For optimum fishability, fish the Pole Dancer with Rio’s Outbound line, which is ideal for turning over big saltwater flies.

Having fished the Pole Dancer firsthand on the Delta with Charlie himself, the Leland Team can only guess at all the applications and venues where this fly will prove invaluable. As you might imagine, Leland is thrilled to be one of the first shops to bring the Pole Dancer to market.

Fly Fishing Bass – Smallmouth And Largemouth SoCal

2 Fly Fishing Bass    Smallmouth and Largemouth SoCalBass Fly Fishing

I left Los Angeles to go fly fishing at “the Canals”

My flies: chartreuse/white and orange/white clousers (I found these two colors work the best), reddish crayfish, foam spiders (normally used for panfish, but the smallies attack it like crazy, EXPLOSION CITY! ), and a black pencil popper (no name for this fly I just tied what I think might work) I made.

I lost count after 40 bass. All and all it was an awesome day of fishing.

My next video will be of the Colorado River.

All my fish were released unharmed. So GET LOST PETA!!!

I had to remake this because my girlfriend thinks my videos are the most boring thing on earth. WOMEN }:|
