{"product_id":"zulu-pearly","title":"Zulu Pearly Wet Fly","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Zulu Pearly wet fly is a livelier take on the long-standing Zulu imitation, a pattern that has earned its place in fly boxes thanks to its straightforward design and consistent results. Rather than copying one exact insect, it gives the impression of small dark prey, drowned terrestrials, or even tiny fry; which is often all that’s needed to bring fish onto the take.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe added pearly flash gives this version a little extra visibility without losing the traditional character of the original. It’s a useful choice when the water carries a touch of colour, light levels are low, or trout are prepared to chase something with a bit more presence. Fished singly or as part of a team, it’s a dependable searching fly that works well when you need to cover water and find active fish.\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\u003e\u003cspan\u003eZulu Pearly Wet Fly Specification\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTarget Species - Trout \/ Sea Trout\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTail - Glo Bug Red\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody - Pearl Mylar\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRib - Silver Line\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHackle - Cock Black Palmered\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHead - Black Silk\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 Zulu Pearly Wet Fly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTraditional Across \u0026amp; Down Presentation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAim your cast slightly downstream and across the flow, then allow the line to come under gentle tension.
