Fished the white Truffle Pig in shallow waters near the reef and caught a large permit. The bead chain eye made it stand out in the current. Works well in low visibility conditions.
Nicola Clark –
Used it in Mexico and saw good action on bonefish. The 4g version worked better in deeper areas. Would recommend for shallow water targeting.

This fly is a solid addition to my shrimp pattern collection. The white color blends well with the water and shows up well when the fish are active.
