Truffle Pig Mantis Shrimp Lead Eye – White
Larger shrimp patterns have always been something I have been wanting to expand on, and after a couple of years of different concepts and testing on the water, I have finally landed on a great new pattern for targeting large bonefish and permit around the world.
The evolution of this fly first started on South Caicos for me, and it continued to produce as I fished it in Mexico, Great Barrier Reef, St. Brandon’s, and the Seychelles.
The Truffle Pig is available in 3 colors and 2 different weights for each, and I have no doubt that it will be a staple for anglers looking for a great shrimp pattern in shallow water.

Fished it in shallow waters near the reef and caught several bonefish. The white color blends well with the surroundings and the lead eye helps it stay upright. A reliable pattern for targeting larger fish.
Stephanie Hill –
Used it during a trip to St. Brandon’s. It worked well in light currents and attracted fish that were previously unresponsive to other shrimp patterns. Slightly heavier than expected, but still effective.

Great addition to my shallow water fly box. Caught a permit in Mexico using the 4g version. The design mimics natural shrimp movement and is easy to tie.
