A variation of the original Turd Burger, the Gas Head Turd uses fettuccine foam in place of deer hair to create the body. Designed for Spotted Grunter, this pattern imitates a floating prawn and is highly effective, particularly on the Breede River. Floating prawns make up a large part of a Grunter's diet, especially over mud flats. We recommend a selection of different sized floating prawns in a mix of colours and profiles when targeting the elusive Grunter.
We would fish this fly using a figure of eight retrieve on a floating line with a long leader.
