Barracudas Have Teeth! Can Your Fly Hold Up?

Photo by Louis Cahill

Barracudas have huge teeth and super fast speed to run down tail walking hound fish and needle fish. Cudas use these teeth to cut their prey in half. Remember this when you tie on your next cuda fly and make sure there is a hook in the middle of the fly vs the end or the front. This will help increase hook ups big time!
