{"product_id":"booby-humungus-black","title":"Booby Humungus Black Lure","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Booby Humungus Black Lure is a bold stillwater lure that blends features from classic Woolly Buggers and Dog Nobblers, creating a mobile, high-attraction pattern built for pulling fish from distance. With its buoyant booby eyes and flowing materials, it offers a lifelike movement in the water while maintaining the strong silhouette anglers rely on when searching larger areas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRather than imitating one specific food source, this pattern suggests fry, leeches or general movement depending on how it’s presented. The dark colour works particularly well in low light, coloured water or deeper fishing where a clear outline helps trout locate the fly. It’s a dependable option when you need a lure that stays visible and active throughout the retrieve.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note all of our fishing flies are barbless unless otherwise stated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBooby Humungus Black Lure Specification\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTarget Species - Trout\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTail - Marabou Black \u0026amp; Holo Silver\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody - Fritz Silver\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHackle - Grizzle Cock\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHead - White Booby\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHook - Barbless, Mustad of Norway\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Fish The Booby Humungus Black Lure\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBooby Washing Line Setup\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFish the Booby Humungus Black on the point of a washing line rig with lighter patterns on droppers above.
