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 does
 )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. ------------- http://www.clarkreid.co.nz" rel="nofollow - www.clarkreid.co.nz FFF Certified Casting Instructor / Umpqua Designer Tier
