Commercial snook fisherman Homer Rhodes is credited with creating the Seaducer, originally the Homer Rhodes Streamer, in the 1940's. The fly was ultimately given a more colorful name by a popular fly-fishing writer in the 1980's when "Sea" and "Seduce," were combined to form "Seaducer."
The Seaducer is a simple yet versatile and productive fly pattern. It is generally considered a saltwater fly but it will catch a wide variety of species in both fresh and salt. Snook, tarpon, redfish, seatrout, sharks, largemouth bass, peacock bass, and many others will investigate and eat this fly.

Tying Notes
Though the Seaducer is often one of the first flies a new saltwater tyer learns to tie, it is not a particularly easy pattern to master. Feathers sometimes have a life of their own. It is, however, well worth spending some time on. By learning to tie the Seaducer you'll learn how to choose and manage feathers. This will allow you to tie a wide variety of other patterns from traditional tarpon flies to bass poppers with feather legs.
The two steps that tyers most often have trouble with are tying in the feathers for the tail and palmering the feather body. We provide specific instruction on these steps and others in our Basic Fly Tying playlist. Links to the individual videos are below.

On the Water
The Seaducer is easy to cast, lands lightly, and can be fished at any speed. It works great as an open water searching pattern, for fishing structure, and for sight fishing shallow water. Fishing the fly at a slow to medium pace and pausing between strips will take full advantage of its natural movement.
