Baby Got Bead Jig

The Baby Got Bead Jig by RIO is a standout anchor fly that defies the traditional role of an anchor nymph by combining both weight and attraction in one highly effective pattern. Tied on a size 12 jig hook with a massive 4.6mm tungsten bead, this fly is designed to sink quickly, even in the fastest currents, making it ideal for fishing in riffles and fast-moving water. While anchor flies are typically used to drop other "more attractive" flies into the strike zone, the Baby Got Bead features a tapered body and a bunny collar that create both movement and realism, making it highly enticing to fish.

Pair with a Realistic Dropper Fly: While the Baby Got Bead excels at getting to the bottom quickly, it can also be an effective anchor fly when paired with a more delicate, realistic dropper fly. For example, pair it with a small mayfly or caddis nymph to increase your chances of enticing selective fish. The weight of the Baby Got Bead ensures that your dropper fly stays at the right depth, mimicking a natural drift while allowing you to fish a range of nymphs in different water columns.
