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 Following

• Angles, speeds, cadence
• Depth and distance
• Fast vs smooth
• Flies and fly rods
• Troubleshooting the mechanics
• Jig Strip, Glide Strip, Twitch Strip
• Good slack and bad slack
