Truffle Pig Mantis Shrimp Bead Chain Eye – Olive
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 the olive Truffle Pig in shallow waters near the reef and it worked well on bonefish. The bead chain eye added a natural movement that attracted fish. Solid pattern for beginners and experienced anglers alike.

Used it in St. Brandon’s and saw good results with permit. The olive color blends well with the surroundings. A bit heavier than expected, but effective in the right conditions.
