Hybrid Tungsten Jig

Description

What happens when you cross a heavy tungsten jig and an ice fly? Can the best parts of each be combined to complement the other’s fish catching ability? These were the questions that led to the creation of this fly-jig hybrid. This pattern utilizes both the fast-sinking, heavy nature of tungsten and the subtle, trigger-rich nature of ice flies. It features the movement subtleties of both rubber legs and marabou, and the hot orange color and flash catches the fish’s attention. The heaviness allows it to sink fast and “bounce bottom” to stir up the mud, and the subtle triggers entice even the wariest of fish. This jig is simple but deadly under the ice. Pair the #14 Slab Spike or the Gill Shrimp as a dropper to this jig to entice the most finicky of fish. The Hybrid is tied on either a size 10, 3/16″ head; or a size 12, 5/32″ head.
