Description

THE FLY This fly draws its magical colour combination from the classic Thunder & Lightning. It’s a perfect blend of discreet colours that has proven to be incredibly effective. Throughout pattern trials, the Thunder Pig has caught fish when traditional flies have failed. We always have them in our boxes and fish them with confidence, especially when the river takes on that thunderous, peaty hue. FEATURES – Vibrating feelers of wild boar and selected stripped hackles – FITS rubber feeler cone and micro turbo cone – SSS dubbing and glitz dubbing mix – Vibration creator – Translucent appearance

Field Notes

This is a saltwater fly designed to imitate baitfish with a subtle, translucent profile and vibration from its hackles and feelers. It is especially useful in peaty or off-colored water when fish are responding to movement and contrast rather than a highly detailed imitation.

Pros

  • Discreet but effective color blend
  • Vibrating feelers add movement
  • Translucent profile can trigger pressured fish

Cons

  • May be less visible in very clear water
  • Specialized fly pattern rather than a general-purpose lure
