Aluco Lures - Bonefish and Permit Flies

A basic, tough and productive fly which is invaluable when the Bones are feeding on smaller baitfish. This maybe doesn't happen often but, when it does, you'll be glad you have several of these in your box! This  fly is also great for opportunistic casting to the many shoals of snapper, triggerfish and jacks found on the flats!

One of our favourites! A highly mobile fly ideal for fishing over slack water or small tides, this has maximum movement for little effort! Perfect for wary fish!

A pseudo-snapping shrimp imitation ideal for wary fish..... it's slim profile doesn't make much commotion on hitting the water but its shrimpy profile ensures this fly receives the right kind of attention.

The fly I first cast to tailing fish all these years ago, it's just as popular now as it was then!

Using smaller lead eyes means a fast sinking fly which doesn't splash too much on contact with the waters surface. Ideal for really skinny-water flats!

Our biggest seller worldwide! Tied originally for Permit but many clients now use this as their number one Bonefish fly. Easy to see why...

Ideal for the flats which have an abundance of eelgrass, but also used on the edge of many flats at the drop-off to deeper water.

Our own take on the many furry-foam crab flies, this has been slimmed down and heavier lead eyes added to get the fly on the bottom quick. A must-have fly for Permit on the deeper flats.

Using smaller lead eyes means a fast sinking fly which doesn't splash too much on contact with the waters surface. Ideal for really skinny-water flats, or heavily-fished areas. A favourite of Bahamian anglers.

With hi-vis legs, lots of flash and mobility, this is an ideal fly for conditions where visibility may be a problem. A great early morning/late evening fly!

As with the other Cuba Charlies, I wouldn't think of heading to this destination without a dozen or so in the flybox. Works well in many other destinations also.

A lightweight shrimp ideal for casting among the mangroves.

Using smaller lead eyes means a fast sinking fly which doesn't splash too much on contact with the waters surface. Ideal for really skinny-water flats, or heavily-fished areas. A favourite of Bahamian anglers.

Tied originally for clients visiting Christmas island, this seems to catch anywhere the fish like a little UV flash in the fly!

Our shrimp for every situation! Too many trigger points to mention, this one has accounted for several 10lb+ Bones! Our first-choice fly!

Tan, pearl and pink..... the classic Bahama bonefish colours!

Hot colours for CXI, this fly really stands out! The fox-wing slims in profile when wet, giving that shrimpy profile!

Our own take on various Permit crab patterns, this gives a great profile and plenty movement, which makes the difference with shy fish!

A favourite for the Australian Permit and Trevally flats angler, these are tied with heavy nickel-plated brass eyes, meaning the fly gets down quick, but also much tougher than the standard lead eyes.

Tough flies for tough fish!!

Sometimes the flats fish 'key in' to this colour... always worth having a few in your box, just in case.

A great fly for the darker flats, channels and under the mangroves.

A slimline version of our Chocolate Gotcha.... again, great for the darker bottoms or shaded areas.

Just a little heavier dressed than the Chocolate Charlie, but still in that great colour!

All fish love that touch of pink, and with the highly mobile, yet tough Tanuki fur wing, this one is a sure-fire winner for both bones and Permit!

What can we say about this fly? A compromise between a crab and shrimp pattern which, according to our clients, works everywhere it's cast! A tough little fly with attitude!

Tied with a highly mobile rabbit-strip tail and wing, shrimp legs and a pearly body. All good trigger points in the one fly!

A very 'shrimpy' Charlie-type fly... pale pink body and red fox wing. One of our biggest sellers!

One for the lighter flats... Bahamas, Crooked Island etc. This works well on the almost-white sands, but also as a 'searching' pattern at dawn or dusk!

A great fly for the channel edges and alongside the eelgrass patches found on some flats.

One of our standard destination flies. Tan fox wing and a reinforced tan-pearl body makes this one a must for the flats angler.

With a highly-mobile rabbit-strip wing, pearlescent body and silicon legs, this just screams 'eat me'...

Same as our standard Sand Flea, with a chartreuse body. It works! This is also a great Mangrove Snapper fly for casting into these tight spots!

One of our Cuban favourites, this works well throughout the Caribbean.

Another of those flies which screams Bahamas! Works well on most light-coloured flats.

Perfect for the golden-coloured flats or early morning/late evening stalking!

This classic flats fly need no introduction!

Understated and highly effective Mantis Shrimp imitation!
