Kobberbassen #6
The Largest Member of the Kobberbassen Family
Kobberbassen has earned legendary status among Scandinavian sea trout anglers. Its reputation was built on a simple idea: create a fly that imitates the most important food sources found along the coastline without unnecessary complexity.
The #6 version is the largest member of the Kobberbassen series. It offers a bigger silhouette while maintaining the same clean profile and natural appearance that made the original pattern famous.
For anglers who prefer a little more visibility and presence in the water, Kobberbassen #6 is often the first choice.
Designed by Frank Jensen
Kobberbassen was created by Danish fly tyer Frank Jensen, one of the most influential names in modern Danish fly design.
His philosophy centred around creating practical flies that suggested life rather than copying nature in exact detail. The result was a pattern capable of imitating a wide range of prey species while remaining simple, durable, and highly effective.
Today, Kobberbassen remains one of the most recognised sea trout flies ever tied in Denmark.
Gammarus, Shrimp and Everything In Between
Part of the genius of Kobberbassen lies in its ability to suggest many different food sources at the same time.
Depending on conditions, fish may interpret it as:
- Gammarus
- Small shrimp
- Juvenile crustaceans
- Marine insects
- General aquatic prey
This flexibility makes it effective throughout the season and across a wide range of coastal environments.
More Profile for Aggressive Fish
The larger #6 version is particularly useful when:
- Sea trout are actively feeding
- Water conditions require extra visibility
- Fishing rough coastal water
- Covering larger areas
- Presenting a larger prey profile
Despite its increased size, the fly still retains the subtle movement and natural appearance that define the Kobberbassen concept.
A Coastal Fly with Global Appeal
Although Kobberbassen was developed for Danish sea trout fishing, its profile works anywhere fish feed on small crustaceans.
Its combination of simplicity, movement, and natural appearance has made it effective not only on Scandinavian coastlines but also in trout fisheries and coastal waters around the world.
The larger #6 version offers anglers an excellent option whenever a little more size can make a difference.
