Description
The Rain Drop Jig by RIO is a perdigon-style fly designed for rapid sinking and precise presentation. Inspired by the way a raindrop hits the water and quickly disappears, this fly mimics that natural behavior by being heavy, slender, and built to get deep into the feeding zone where fish are actively foraging. Tied with a tungsten bead, the Rain Drop Jig ensures quick sinking, making it perfect for euro nymphing in fast-moving or deeper water. Its slim profile reduces drag and allows for a more natural drift, while its ability to quickly sink into the strike zone helps it attract even the most reluctant fish.
Pro Tip
Optimize for Deep Runs with a Shorter Leader: The Rain Drop Jig excels in fast or deep water where quick sinking is required. To maximize its performance, use a shorter leader (6-8 feet) for better sensitivity and quicker control over your drift. This setup helps the fly get down quickly and reduces the chance of drag, keeping the fly in the fish’s feeding zone.
