Minnows and baitfish are eaten by bass more than anything else. They represent the majority of the bass’s diet. They include every type of small fish from minnows, chubs, shinners, shad, bream, sunfish and other small fish to numerous to name them all. All species of bass will take these flies – largemouth, smallmouth, red eye, spotted and peacock bass. Although the flies display a lot of real life movement by the materials they are made of, action imparted by the angler always helps.
