The Spider Leech is a new name for the Rubber Leg K Moal.

NEW for 2019, now tied with Micro Barred Voodoo Fibers - better in softer water, more movement, and the fly is .50 less expensive.

This fly has a weighted bead but it is tied in the rear some - hidden. This effects how the fly swims/swings through the river. It has a flatter/level angle. Also the hidden 1/4 inch nickel bead gives the fly more silhouette - bigger shoulder. NEW for 2017 summer. Size: 2.5 inches.

Moal leeches are tied entirely on a string with a trailer hook at the back. This gives the fly greater action than a fly tied on a rigid hook. More fish are landed with the Moal fly as well.

Custom Moal Leeches are tied by Grabflies.com in the good old USA. Moal's are tied using the best materials on the market and are tied to last (super glue, Berkley Fireline Braid 20 LB (double over for 40 LB strength) and, quality hooks.

The Trailer Trash by Ken Morrish is a large, Intruder-like pattern that makes no apologies. Like many, Ken admittedly was inspired by the design features of the Intruder to create a large profile fly that has great movement and little bulk. At nearly 4-5 inches, this large creature swims frequently in Steelhead rivers around the West, at risk of being eaten in a violent manner. Pacific Salmon and Sea-run Browns also like the way it tastes.

Lots of action

Size 2 trailing hook

Two colors: Olive and Black

Size 2 The popularity of this fly started in Alaska with the Dolly Lama. This is a Dorian inspired version of the old one made much better. It capitalizes on the conehead, Barred Dos-Tone rabbit zonker strips, and subtle flash. It is a devil to tie but well worth it if your going to seriously fish it. If your taking a expensive trip to Alaska then be sure to have these with you. Keep them to yourself as guides and your buddies will do anything they can to get their hands on some.
