Quick take
Tied pheasant tail nymphs with tungsten beads that sink quickly and imitate mayfly, stonefly and caddis nymphs.
This size 12 tungsten bead head nymph is tied in bronze on a Mustad Signature hook, and the bead gives it the sink rate to reach the lower part of the drift. Its flashback pattern suggests the mayfly, stonefly and caddis nymphs that trout and panfish feed on. It works as a point fly or a bottom nymph for anglers fishing trout and panfish under an indicator or with a tight-line rig.

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.
