Prince of Tides

A very popular, and very effective pattern that works well for a variety of predatory fish. Imitating a wide range of baitfish, the Prince of Tides should always be in the box. Whether you're matching saltwater species like spearing and bay anchovies or freshwater baitfish like dace and emerald shiners, the Prince of Tides can imitate them all.
