The Cyclops fly pattern is a distinctive and effective lure designed for attracting the attention of predatory fish, especially in murky or deeper waters. This pattern is named for its prominent, single eye feature, which adds to its allure by mimicking the movement and appearance of prey fish or aquatic creatures. The Cyclops is particularly useful for targeting species that rely on visual cues to hunt, such as bass and pike. Anglers should use a varied retrieval technique, including jerks and pauses, to simulate the erratic behavior of a wounded or fleeing prey, maximizing the potential for strikes.
