Hot Head Rainbow Jig Selection

The Hot Head Rainbow Jig Selection - from Barbless Flies

Another nymph from the competition scene, a Czech style nymph, fantastic for both Grayling and Trout in coloured water. A classic tungsten nymph pattern that is very successful in early-season, especially when you're faced with faster/deeper water.

These are very high-quality flies tied on high-quality barbless VMC 7077 barbless jig hooks and are only available individually in sizes 12, 14 & 16.

How to fish it

This jig shines on a Euro nymphing rig in sizes 12-16. Use it as your point fly for maximum depth, or on a dropper above a lighter pattern. The tungsten bead gets it down fast, while the slim body allows it to stay at depth.

Specifications for this pattern are:

• Size 12: Bead Size: 3.6mm, Weight 0.41g
• Size 14: Bead Size: 3.6mm, Weight 0.38g
• Size 16: Bead Size: 3.2mm, Weight 0.25g

Size Guide Note:

• Size 12: Heavier water, larger trout, stonefly imitation
• Size 14: All-round workhorse for UK conditions
• Size 16: Ultra-selective fish, small olive imitation
