J:son Wingburner – G5 (G1-G5)
The Ultimate Tool for Terrestrial Flies & Micro-Insects
Terrestrial insects like craneflies, midges, wasps, and ants are often a decisive part of a fish's diet, yet they are frequently overlooked by fly fishermen. Whether you are fishing the grasslands of Patagonia, the clear streams of New Zealand, or the forest-lined waters of Europe, having a perfect imitation of these land-based insects is often the only way to succeed when fish get selective.
The J:son Generic (G-Series) is your professional solution. Designed to create long, narrow wings with the correct anatomical profile, this tool allows you to replicate a vast variety of insects that accidentally find their way onto the water’s surface.
Unrivaled Precision for the Smallest Hatches
While other tools struggle with small scales, the G-series excels. Combined with J:son's superior materials, you can easily burn wings for flies tied on hooks as small as size 24—crucial for matching the tiny midges and ants that drive trophy fish crazy.
