Bass Flies & Streamers

TraceAce Tackle's range of Bass Flies has been designed and hand-tied purely for the salt water fly fisher. The colours, patterns and actions mimic the bait fish large predators feed on. All the hooks are super strong, ranging from size 1 to 2/0 and are of course salt water resistant. These flies will take all manner of salt water species either here or abroad, fished with conventional fly tackle, or used as a teaser in front of a plug or lure.
Alderney Bass flies
This pattern of Bass flies were reputedly first developed and tied in what I consider the home of Bass Fly fishing - the Channel Islands. Used conventionally with fly casting tackle by the first pioneers of salt water fly fishing, the patterns were slowly honed over many seasons, to create the best bass taking patterns. Subsequently used to enhance a plugs performance by fishing them on a dropper (again first developed in these islands), and kept a closely guarded secret for several years, these three flies not only make a great collection to any Bass anglers armoury, but also come with a lineage that is second to none, being the last in a pattern of flies that can be traced back to the grass roots of this sport.
Alderney 2 Bass Flies
This new set of Bass flies are hot from Alderney, and are the latest patterns and colours being used by anglers out there not only on conventional fly fishing gear, but more and more as teasers in front of their plugs and poppers. After the success of the original Alderney Bass Collection, this latest batch is a fantastic addition to the original pattern, and now completes the full set of Alderney Bass Flies.
The Complete Alderney Collection
6 of the best. The complete set of Alderney Bass Flies. Fished on conventional fly tackle or in front of a plug, this set of flies have been developed from the home of Bass Fly fishing...enough said.
Baitfish flies
These bait fish flies represent the small fry of Mackerel, herrings and Pouting that are so prolific in the summer months. Superbly tied on size 1 super sharp hooks, these little devils have all the right ingredients to stimulate a feeding Bass, the underbelly red strike point, 3D eyes and a complete range of the best Bass colours available.

A real top tip for using these flies, and to really increase your chance of hooking a decent Bass, is to tie a fly on a short dropper in front of a plug or Bass Streamer. This gives the impression that the lure is chasing a small bait fish, and this stimulates the Bass’s natural hunting instincts into slamming the artificial lure.
The Alderney Collection and Bait Fish Flies
9 flies in any lure angler's tackle box that are guaranteed to take all manner of Salt water fish, especially Bass. If you are a saltwater fly fisherman, or just love plugging for Bass, then this complete set is an absolute must.
Bass Streamers

A 7g super fly with an angled front lip for added wobble. These flies are approx. 20cm long, and are fitted with a weed guard protector, shielding the super sharp 5/0 hook. These flies can be fished on fly or conventional spinning tackle, simply cast out and retrieve allowing the fly to wobble and shimmer, or how I also like to fish them, on a long flowing trace over a wreck or reef with conventional boat gear.
These Streamers are not only great for Bass but are fantastic to take abroad and are proving deadly to all manor of game fish - in particular Tarpon.
