The Tungsten Bead Purple Perdigon Jig is a modern nymph designed for euro nymphing techniques. The tungsten bead helps it sink rapidly, perfect for fishing in fast-moving waters. Its sleek profile minimizes drag in the water, allowing for a quicker descent to the feeding zone. The purple color adds an alluring flash, often triggering strikes from trout that are attracted to this iridescent feature. This jig is tied on a barbless hook, which facilitates easier catch-and-release and is often preferred in competitive fly fishing scenarios. To fish with this fly, use a tight line nymphing technique, maintaining direct contact with the fly to detect subtle strikes. Cast upstream or up-and-across and let the fly drift along the bottom, where trout often feed. Keep the fly moving with occasional twitches to imitate a live nymph, and be ready for quick takes as trout can’t resist its enticing fall through the water column.
