Jig Pheasant Tail

The jig-hook version of the Pheasant Tail Nymph rides point-up to reduce snags and fishes perfectly in a tight-line Euro nymphing setup. A slotted tungsten bead provides weight and the classic pheasant tail body does the rest. This is the competition angler's refined version of the original.
