Umpqua Radiant Tungsten Jig Bomb 2.5 mm Brown | Avidmax

Jig Bombs are the solution to add more weight to your files. The trend of oversizing beads to add more weight means that tyers lose shank length and are limited to what hooks they can use. The unique teardrop shape of the Bomb’s means they are about 20% heavier than a standard slotted bead while keeping 15% more hook shank to create a body with. All of this means that flies maintain great proportions and drop into the zone and stay there.

Jig Bomb Beads - Adding Weight to Flies

Blowtorch Jighead Nymph Tied by Devin Olsen Tag nymphs are certainly not new to fly fishing. I was first introduced to them when I traveled to fish in the Oceania Fly Fishing Games in Tasmania back in 2007. OUR GUIDE showed us a few dry flies and a couple of nymphs. One of them was a tag nymph with a peacock body and a soft hackle.
