The Hot Wire CDC Pheasant Tail is a versatile jig-hook nymph built on the foundation of the classic pheasant tail pattern. A dual copper and silver wire wrap forms the body, while a CDC feather collar and copper tungsten bead add weight and movement. Its profile effectively imitates a broad range of subsurface insects — from midges and mayflies in smaller sizes to caddis, scuds, and stoneflies in larger sizes — making it a reliable choice on unfamiliar water or during quiet hatches. Comes in a 3-pack.
