Flies don't have to be complex or expensive to be effective. If your Fly fishing for Pike or Striped Bass a Hollow Deceiver is never the "wrong" fly to use. It has great movement, good profile and is very easy to cast even with pretty light gear. Average quality bucktail, Schlappen or Chinese saddle hackles and flash is needed to tie this fly and of course a hook. A 5/0 Varivas Big mouth in this case. This is a part of my "one platform, a million variations" fly series which all are based on Lefty's Deceiver and Bob Popovics Hollow technique.
