Whitlock's Fire Tiger UL Air-jet Bug

Whitlock's Fire Tiger UL Air-jet Bug

The  is an ultra-lite, air-filled, floating foam fly fishing popper designed by Dave Whitlock, primarily for catching bass and panfish. The "Fire Tiger" refers to a specific color pattern, typically a combination of yellow, orange, and possibly green or black stripes, mimicking common baitfish colorations.

Key features and description:
  • Design: The fly is an "ultra-lite" popper, which makes it easy to cast even with lighter weight fly rods (e.g., five-weight rods). It features an air-filled or "air-jet" body, likely incorporating a design element that creates a popping or bubbling action on the water's surface when retrieved.
  • Action: It is designed to be fished slowly along shorelines and near submerged structures. The recommended technique involves letting it sit for several seconds after casting, then using slow, irregular pops and strips to attract fish. Applying a fly floatant is recommended for best results.
  • Color Pattern: The "Fire Tiger" color option is a popular attractor pattern, one of several colors available for this bug (others include Frog, Red/White, Yellow, and Chartreuse).
  • Construction: The flies are tied by Rainy's Flies based on Dave Whitlock's design. The body is likely made of foam or a similar light material to ensure buoyancy.
  • Target Species: It is considered highly effective and "irresistible" for enticing bass and sunfish (panfish). 
This fly is available for purchase from various online fly fishing retailers.
