“John Barr really has an eye for flies. The Meat Whistle is no exception. It is a simple and unique streamer that works wonders. There aren’t a lot of 90-degree jig streamers, and I think there should be more. Any streamer that utilizes rabbit has a place in my box. The movement is unmatched when compared to other materials. Add some Schalppen and there isn’t a lot left to ask for. Originally designed to be a crayfish imitation bottom dragged for bass it really doesn’t stop there. This fly is great fished for various species and in many water types. Let this bug swing and dive, bounce it on the bottom, or jig it suspended and fish will hear your Meat whistle sing.”
