Racing Pink UV Jig Perdigon

Racing Pink UV Jig Perdigon

Racing Pink UV Jig Perdigon is a very effective Perdigon nymph tied on a Demmon Jig competition barbless hook. Tied in a salmon pink color and ribbed with UV ribbing Perdigon tinsel to enhance visibility, these flies are extra effective in cold waters of the fall, winter, and springtime. Absolutely deadly for grayling!

The barbless jig hook minimizes snags and the tungsten bead gives it extra weight. The tail is tied using Coq de Leon feathers, which gives this fly a more realistic look.

Racing Pink UV Jig Perdigon nymph comes in three hook sizes #14, #16, and #18
