Description
The Magog Smelt Tandem Streamer combines the classic yellow, purple and white colour scheme of the Magog Smelt with a longer tandem profile designed to suggest a fleeing baitfish.
Individually tied and assembled by DcTackle – Limited Availability
These flies are individually tied to order, and high demand during peak season means they won’t stay in stock for long.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are DcTackle tandem streamers individually tied and assembled by DcTackle?
Yes. Every DcTackle tandem streamer is individually tied and assembled by DcTackle. Keeping the complete tying and assembly process in-house allows us to maintain consistent construction, material selection and quality standards across every tandem streamer we produce.
Why does DcTackle use a tandem hook design on these streamers?
The tandem design allows us to create a longer, more traditional streamer profile while positioning a second hook farther back in the fly. This configuration is particularly well suited to longer baitfish-style patterns and provides the proportions and movement we are looking for in our tandem streamers
How are the front and rear hooks connected?
The front and rear hooks are securely connected using 90 lb Surflon stainless-steel, nylon-coated saltwater leader wire. The connection is firmly secured to both hooks with nylon thread and reinforced with Zap CA adhesive for maximum strength and a durable, permanent connection.
What is the difference between a tandem streamer and a single-hook streamer?
A tandem streamer uses separate front and rear hooks connected together, allowing the fly to maintain a longer baitfish profile while placing a hook farther back in the pattern. A single-hook streamer is constructed entirely on one hook and generally produces a more compact profile. Both designs can be effective—the choice depends on the pattern, presentation and fishing situation.
