Egg Patterns
Nuke Egg
The Nuke Egg is a smaller, more translucent version of the Glo Bug, tied with McFlyFoam for a realistic veil-like appearance. The sparse, semi-transparent material imitates a single drifting egg better than denser yarn patterns, making it the choice for pressured tailwater trout.
