Dread Tag Jig

Cheech,  April 2022

Although this jig is a really effective fly, this is also a video to show some of the cool techniques you can use to build these jigs. The body is a hare's ear rope that is pre-tied, and the tag is a cool technique that will ensure that it matches your whip finish color. This style of fly is super effective, and can be tied VERY quickly.
