Tungsten bead tactical jig hook features a heavy tungsten bead head combined with a 60-degree jig hook that points upward, reducing snags on rocks and increasing hookup ratios. Ideal for Czech, French, Spanish, and tactical Euro nymphing techniques.

Ruth Hughes –
This Perdigon jig performs well in fast currents. The sink rate is excellent and the hook point stays up, reducing tangles. I’ve used it in several rivers and it consistently brings in fish.
Jason Buckland –
Great for deep water presentations. The tungsten head gives it good weight and the 60-degree hook helps avoid snagging on rocks. A solid choice for Euro nymphing.
Gordon White –
Felt like a real improvement over standard nymphs. The rapid sink and smooth action make it perfect for targeting fish in deeper sections of streams.
Lily Harris –
Works well in both still and moving water. The jig stays on the bottom and doesn’t get caught easily. Slightly heavier than expected, but that’s a good thing for penetration.
