Umpqua UC655BL-BN UTP Jig 60 is a barbless jig hook in black nickel, built on a 60-degree bend for tying jig-style nymphs. The angled bend and upturned eye let the finished fly ride hook-point-up, which snags less bottom and tends to hook fish cleanly in the upper jaw. The barbless point keeps releases quick and does less damage to the fish. Offered in sizes 8 through 18.
When to Use It
A staple for Euro-nymphing and indicator nymph rigs, where jig nymphs are fished deep along the bottom. Sizes 8 through 18 cover anchor flies, mid-size searching nymphs, and small technical patterns for pressured water.
