For muddy water redfish, this is my favorite color combination for the reasons given in the video. I like the purple to help make a dark silhouette. I also like the chartreuse for contrast and it stands out for me which helps me visually follow the fly and gives me feedback when presenting the fly to the fish.
For people thinking of tying these, I have a few comments that should be kept in mind when tying:
Because the water is often dirty, fish tend to pop up not far from the boat. More often than not, redfish feed looking down, so you need a fly that will get under the redfish. Because the redfish are close to the boat when you see them, the fly needs to sink quickly before the redfish spooks.
Two things affect sink rate - weight and material density. Use the biggest lead eyes possible. The smallest I will use is medium (1/30 oz) dumbbell eyes. Sometimes even the 1/20 oz eyes are necessary. As far as material goes, make sure to keep them as sparsely tied as possible. EP brushes can trap a lot of air if too much of it is used and/or if it is palmered to thick. Use as little EP brush as possible, and sometimes I even just use the arctic fox tail and hackle for the head of the fly without the brush.
spoken like a man who knows what the eff is up. thanks

Good video, fly seems more complicated than needed but I am sure it will catch Reds. Like your version of the Midnight clouser better.
Great job! Enjoyed this.
Totally doable. Love it. My primary fishing zones for the next three months. Charlotte Harbor, Everglades and Crystal River.
Looks good. Nice back ground music, for the video.
Great fly - its landed me several LARGE reds in the last few months.
Tres bon !
Beautiful fly
