Short Striker "Classic" - Size 8

The Originator and leader of Spinner‑Fly combinations since 1961, Joe’s Flies exclusive Short‑Striker “Classic” Size #8 (1/24 oz) is our most popular and most productive lure in the ultra‑light class.

Originally developed to catch short‑striking native trout in West Virginia streams, Short‑Striker Classics are equally at home hooking Smallmouth, Crappie, and Bream.

The secret of the Short Striker is three‑fold: the enticing mirror‑polished spinner blade creates flash that grabs attention, the hand‑tied fly matches the hatch and triggers instinctive strikes, and the trailing treble works in tandem with the main hook to yield firmly hooked fish.

The EZ‑Exchange clip allows anglers to tie on once and quickly change patterns in seconds — keeping your lure in the water where it belongs.

Trusted since 1961 — crafted in West Virginia.
