{"product_id":"muskin-buzzer","title":"Muskin Buzzer Nymph","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Muskin Buzzer Nymph has its roots in UK reservoir competition fishing, where anglers needed a refined pattern to tempt trout locked onto midge pupae. On large, windswept waters, fish often feed almost exclusively on Chironomid pupae rising steadily through the water column. Instead of just relying on thick epoxy coatings or bright materials, the Muskin was developed as a slim, ultra-natural alternative, tied to present a clean outline that mirrors the real insect as closely as possible.\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\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMuskin Buzzer Nymph Specifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTarget Species - Trout\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody - Black Pheasant Tail\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheeks - Biot Hot Orange\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThorax - Hares Ear\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHead - Silk Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHook - Barbless, Mustad of Norway\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFine, Tapered Body\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIts narrow, carefully shaped body reflects the true proportions of a midge pupa, helping it blend seamlessly into natural buzzer activity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoft Thorax Detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe thorax is lightly dressed with fine dubbing.
