Tungsten Jig TNT – Solitude
The Tungsten Jig TNT is dynomite. Tied in three great color combinations, it performs well in most scenarios where mayflies are present.
The Baetis pattern is effective for baetis and bwo hatches. The PMD version works well on Pale Morning Dun, Sulphurs, and Hendricksons. The black version is reliable when all else fails or when you’re unsure about the hatch.
All colors feature segmented bodies, wing cases, hot spots or collars, and tungsten beads — a proven design for effective fishing.
| Pattern | Target Hatch |
|---|---|
| Baetis | Baetis and BWO hatches |
| PMD | Pale Morning Dun, Sulphurs, Hendricksons |
| Black | General use; reliable in uncertain conditions |

The Baetis pattern caught several fish during a morning dry fly session. The wing case and tungsten bead made it look very natural. I’ve used it in multiple streams and it’s consistently productive.
Anne Butler –
The PMD version worked perfectly on a Sulphur hatch. It stayed on the surface and triggered strikes. The segmented body and hot spot are well-designed for realistic movement.
Brian Dowd –
I tried the black version during a cloudy day with no clear hatch. It caught a few fish, though not as many as with the Baetis. Still, it’s a solid fallback option.

The jig’s tungsten bead gives it a strong, natural sink and wobble. I’ve used it in both still and moving water and it performs well in all conditions.
