The Tungsten Bead Duracell Jig – Coppertop is a highly effective euro nymphing fly, designed to sink quickly and drift naturally through the feeding zone. Featuring a dense tungsten bead for rapid descent, this fly excels in deep runs, riffles, and fast currents where trout are actively foraging. The Coppertop variation adds a unique touch with its copper-colored bead, providing subtle flash and attraction that can trigger aggressive strikes from finicky fish.

Tied on a barbless jig hook, this pattern rides hook-up to minimize snags and improve presentation. The soft CDC collar provides natural movement in the water, imitating emerging insects such as mayflies and caddis larvae. The muted yet effective coloration makes this fly an excellent choice for clear water, pressured fish, and technical tailwater environments.

To fish the Tungsten Bead Duracell Jig – Coppertop effectively, use it as part of a euro nymphing setup or in a two-fly rig to cover different depths. Allow it to dead-drift naturally along the riverbed, or lift it slightly at the end of the drift to imitate an emerging insect.
