Quick take
Small tungsten-bead nymphs tied on Mustad signature hooks for fishing productive midge hatches in trout streams.
A size 16 member of the Rainbow Warrior midge nymph line, with a tungsten bead that sinks the fly to trout holding deep. The rainbow color and spear-point hook suit anglers working small nymphs in trout streams. It can run as a front or back fly in a nymph rig.
Best for

- You fish large rivers where size #16 is too small
- You cannot tie or handle very small flies
Strengths

- Mustad signature hooks are strong and reliable
- Rainbow color matches many natural midge pupae
Trade-offs

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
