You can both elicit predatory strikes and cover a lot of water fishing streamers, with the articulated ones geared towards moving large fish as well. Really the hardcore streamer guys pretty much fishing in the same manner as someone slinging lures. Different gear but the principles are very similar. Flyfishing isn't always for the dainty size 20's.
