Hook<\/strong>\u00a0– Hanak 470 size 16 (can use Hanak 450 or 400 and sizes 12-18 as desired). It is a general nymphing jig hook.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bead<\/strong>\u00a0– Silver slotted tungsten bead 3.0mm. Also works well in copper and sizes 2.5 – 3.5mm to give you options to match water conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Thread<\/strong>\u00a0– Black UTC 70 or Uni Thread 8\/0.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Collar<\/strong>\u00a0– Fluro Orange UTC 70 or Glo-Brite No 7 (fluro orange).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tail<\/strong>\u00a0– Coq de Leon in Flora de Escoba (Brown-mottled) colour. You can also use dark or medium pardo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Body<\/strong>\u00a0– Hareline Krystal Flash Peacock. Alternate is Hends 233 Krystal Flash Dark Brown (actually has a green shine). Or any green coloured Krystal Flash, Tinsel or even Flashabou (if nothing else).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

UV Resin<\/strong>\u00a0– Solarez Bone-dry or any thin, clear UV resin eg. Loon UV Clear Fly Finish – Flow.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Wing Case Resin<\/strong>\u00a0– Solarez UV Cure Color Resin (Black) or Loon UV Fly Finish Black. Can be difficult to source locally so black nail polish will also do. Note that I have seen perdigons done with and without a wing case, so this is optional.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
