Trigger Fly - Trophy Trout Trolling Fly

About this product

The Trigger Fly is built for one mission: getting trophy rainbow trout in the net. Its premium marabou and flash fiber construction produces a pulsing, lifelike action that big trout simply can’t ignore, especially when fished on a short drop-back behind a dodger or flasher at open-water trolling speeds. The reinforced head and saltwater-quality hook maintain the fly’s profile and action through repeated strikes and hard fights without losing shape. Whether you’re dragging a spread across a reservoir or running a single rod on a high-mountain lake, the Trigger Fly consistently pulls the largest fish of the session. Available in 22 proven color patterns.

Sold in packs of 2 Flys
