Strike Magic
How it works and how to use it.

It just makes sense that if your fly looks tasty and actually is tasty...then you'll attract more fish!
Half a job...
Fish hate two smells imparticular, humans and gasoline.
You go to a lot of trouble to 'match the hatch' and make your fly look as realistic as possible...only to leave it smelling of one, or both of the most unattractive smells known to a fish....humans and gasoline (did you fill your car up on the way to the pool?). And fish can smell any trace of either amidst millions of particles of water. Hence why they swim near your fly and then calmly turn about and swim away. It looks nice, but it tastes terrible to the fish.
When you're tying your fly, you are touching it and fiddling with it and dropping your pheromones all over it. Yet the human smell is technically a depressant to a fish (opposite of a stimulant) and that's why you often experience a fish inspecting your fly only to reject it outright by gently spitting it back out. You only fooled it halfway.
At that point, you attempt to set the hook and strike, only to miss the fish and see your wet fly heading at around 70mph towards your own head.
Strike Magic does two things...
-
forms a cloud near your fly and leaves a tasty trail leading back to it
-
gives you those extra few fractions of a second to set your hook.
The cloud forming around the fly attracts the fish from a wider range than normal, meaning you have more fish interested in your fly, and once they inspect to hook they hand around for a split second longer than normal. This gives you those vital extra seconds to 'strike' which improves your strike rate exponentially.
So more fish around your fly and longer to strike...this increases your chances of catching exponentially.
