Beadhead Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail

The soft hackle wrap on the Beadhead Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail adds another layer of realism to this already legendary pattern. As this nymph drifts through the water, the wet hackle wrap flutters and kicks like the legs of a swimming nymph.

Pro Tip: For extra action and realism brush some Frogs Fanny or Hign N Dry Powder Floatant into the soft hackle! This will coat the hackle in bubbles causing it to kick and flip down the river just like the legs of an insect in drift.
