Hot Tag Jig fly pattern - Euro  nymph image

Description

The Hot Tag Jig is a barbless nymph designed with a heavy tungsten bead and a collar made of soft CDC fibers. Its contrasting body and hot spot tail make it highly effective for grabbing the attention of fish. Hook size 12-16.

Curated by the IdentaFly fly fishing team.

Pro Tip

On technical fish, dampen only the hot tag before the drift. The slight darkening reduces glare but keeps the color glow underwater, turning the tag into a muted trigger rather than a warning beacon. Trout that normally refuse bright tags will eat it confidently.
