Comments: Deceivers can be tied to have high body profiles (pictured above) to imitate baitfish like menhaden or narrow body profiles so imitate sandeels. In either case, I think they perform best when tied sparsely. On Cape Cod, the major high-profile baitfish is the menhaden, which explains the purple/blue back on the fly. I used this fly mostly in the late summer and fall when stripers were feeding on large schools of juvenile menhaden.
