The Squish's Shrimp was designed over several trips to CXI specifically to target a species that has become an obsession of mine - the Triggerfish.

So many other species also love them, it's now my go to Flats pattern.

Fulling Mill have tied some up for us on size 2 and 1/0 Gamakatsu SL12s hooks, so make sure you have some in your flats box!
