Rainbow Warrior

Rainbow Warrior Tungsten Jig Euro Nymph

This Euro nymph version of the Rainbow Warrior pairs a tungsten bead with a barbless jig hook for controlled subsurface presentations. The tungsten bead adds concentrated weight to help the size 12 fly reach the feeding zone, while the jig-hook design encourages a hook-point-up orientation during the drift. Work it through trout runs and current seams with a tight-line approach, keeping contact as the fly travels naturally through the feeding lane.
