Fly fishing cobia
Although a fly rod, line and fly are the most used tools for fishing for cobias, the fishing lure is equally important. Baitfish-patterned lures are best. This type of fly sinks and is best cast at high speed. The hook will be likely to be cut off when a cobia swoops over and strikes the fly. Next, you can practice sight-fishing to catch cobia.
You should first dump all fly line in your backing. Allow the line to sink, strip it back quickly and repeat the process. Sinking lines are a great way to catch more cobia. It's also possible to use weighted flying flies. If sight casting is difficult, you can also use a sinking line and a weighted fly. You should always have a fly rod ready for hungry cobia.
