PHEASANT TAIL FLASHBACK CDC TUNGSTEN JIG HOOK

Description

The Pheasant Tail Flashback CDC Tungsten Jig is a modern take on one of fly fishing’s most iconic patterns—built for today’s high-performance nymphing rigs. Tied on a barbless jig hook with an upturned eye and heavy tungsten bead, this fly gets deep fast while minimizing bottom snags and maximizing hook sets.

The pheasant tail body and ribbing offer a perfect imitation of common mayfly nymphs like baetis and PMDs, while the flashback adds subtle attraction that catches a trout’s attention in slightly off-colored water or low light. What sets this version apart is the addition of CDC fibers, which breathe and flutter with every current shift—bringing the fly to life and triggering reflex strikes.

Ideal for Euro nymphing, tight-line tactics, or drop-shot nymph rigs, this fly sinks quickly and maintains a natural horizontal drift. The jig-style hook also helps keep fish pinned during long fights in fast water.

Whether you’re fishing freestone rivers like the Eagle or technical tailwaters like the South Platte, the Pheasant Tail Flashback CDC Jig delivers depth, realism, and soft movement all in one pattern. A must-have for anglers who demand both traditional effectiveness and modern presentation.
