MARAUDER

Description

The Marauder is a heavy-duty streamer designed for anglers targeting big, aggressive trout that hold deep and strike hard. These fly fishing flies are built with two beads (usually brass or tungsten), a buggy body, and a flowing marabou tail. The Marauder gets down fast and stays in the strike zone—ideal for fast water, drop-offs, and deep pools.

Often tied in natural or dark color combinations like olive, black, or brown, the Marauder mimics sculpins, leeches, and other bottom-dwelling prey. The addition of flash and rubber legs adds visibility and movement, making this pattern a standout in stained or high water.

The dual-bead design provides a distinctive jigging action on the strip or swing, triggering reaction strikes from predatory fish. It fishes well on a sink-tip line or full-sinking setup and is effective whether dead-drifted, bounced along the bottom, or aggressively stripped.

Whether you’re working western freestones, tailwaters, or high-mountain rivers, the Marauder is built to move big fish. Its dense weight and seductive profile make it a go-to choice when conditions call for something bold, buggy, and deep.
