Any idea of the name of the program mulletguts?
Could be available on tv on demand.
Can't say I've heard of a jigging fly by that name but Roddholder will know ( if anyone doesLOL)
Kilwell used to market a trolling lure, a Cobra I think, by that name.
 
If you do get to find out anything, I'd be interested to hear more.

It's a Pat Swift pattern which Umpqua also does... It's been around at least 10 years or so in this form and this pattern is a Pat variant on an oolder harling pattern that is about 30 years old or more.
 
It was on SInclair's Gone fishing and he was jigging with Pat.
