Troutline Tactical Hot Spot Frenchie Pheasant Tail Jig Nymph is a modern jig version of the famous Frenchie nymph, tied with a natural pheasant tail body, tungsten bead and a bright hot spot for extra attraction.
This fly keeps the slim and effective silhouette of the classic Pheasant Tail, but adds the visibility and speed needed for modern Euro nymphing. The pheasant tail fibres suggest the segmented body of many mayfly nymphs, while the hot spot placed behind the bead acts as a strong trigger, especially in faster currents, deeper runs or slightly coloured water.
The jig hook helps the fly ride point-up, reducing snags and allowing a clean drift close to the bottom, where trout and grayling often feed. Simple, proven and highly effective, this Frenchie-style nymph is a reliable choice for both competition fishing and everyday river fishing.
Nymph features:
Recommended use: Fast runs, riffles, pocket water and deeper glides, especially when fish respond to slim natural nymphs with a small trigger point.
