Description
The Pearl Jam Jig, designed by RIO, is a reimagined version of the classic nymph pattern Lightning Bug, updated to be more effective in modern euro nymphing techniques. The traditional natural fibers are replaced with subtle flashes on the tails and legs to create just the right amount of movement without overwhelming the fish. Instead of going overboard with flashy colors, the Pearl Jam Jig opts for dark, realistic hues.
Pro Tip
The Pearl Jam Jig's subtle flash and dark colors make it perfect for fishing in clear, pressured water where fish are more likely to be cautious.
