The Head Flip is a pivot. It's a simple change of the streamer's head angle, from down and across to up and across, or from upstream to downstream. This pivot doesn't necessarily move the fly out of its area, but the motion might seem pretty dramatic to a trout. The Head Flip shows trout an opportunity for an easy meal, and it might signal a moment of vulnerability. It's one of our favorites animations to a streamer.We Cover the FollowingWhat it is and why it worksBest water typesAngles to changeBest lines and leadersBest fliesDepthSpeedCombining the Head Flip with other animationsAnd much more . . .ResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | Category | StreamersREAD: Troutbitten | Streamer Presentations -- The Head FlipVIDEO: Troutbitten | The Head FlipVisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten Facebook Thank You to Pre-Roll Ad Sponsors:SkwalaandOrvisThank You to Pre-Roll Ad Sponsors:SkwalaandOrvis

The ability to move the fly with the rod tip and not just the line hand is a fundamental skill that opens creative options for the streamer angler.Almost two decades ago, Kelly Galloup's first streamer book changed the way anglers thought about moving a streamer. All these years later, the jerk strip isn't just one way to move the streamer. It's a technique for using both hands, in concert, synchronized, for presentations that are impossible to achieve any other way.Move the fly with the rod tip and then recover with the line hand. In this way, the Jerk Strip sets the table for everything else to follow in this Troutbitten Skills Series on Streamer Presentations.We Cover the FollowingAngles, speeds, cadenceDepth and distanceFast vs smoothFlies and fly rodsTroubleshooting the mechanicsJig Strip, Glide Strip, Twitch StripGood slack and bad slackStrip sets and hook setsAnd much more . . .ResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | Category | StreamersREAD: Troutbitten | Streamer Presentations -- Jigs, Jerks and StripsVIDEO: Troutbitten | The Jerk Strip -- Streamer PresentationsVisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten Facebook Thank You to Pre-Roll Ad Sponsors:SkwalaandOrvisThank You to Pre-Roll Ad Sponsors:SkwalaandOrvis
