Tungsten Bead Mr. Pink Jig

The Tungsten Bead Mr. Pink, also known as the Idaho Stank, is an exceptional fly pattern designed to imitate molting scuds and shrimp, making it a highly effective attractor in tailwater fisheries. Featuring a heavy tungsten bead, this fly sinks rapidly into the strike zone, where trout and other fish are actively feeding. The vibrant pink body enhances visibility, making it especially effective in cold water conditions or when fish need an extra incentive to strike.

Crafted with premium materials, the Mr. Pink Jig is tied on a jig-style hook, allowing it to ride hook-up and reduce snags when bouncing along the riverbed. The combination of tungsten weight and a lively profile makes this fly ideal for fast-moving water, deep runs, and pressured fish that may not respond to more traditional patterns. The coloration mimics scuds and shrimp in their molting phase, which is when they are most vulnerable and highly sought after by trout.

To fish the Tungsten Bead Mr. Pink Jig effectively, dead-drift it under a tight line or indicator setup, ensuring it maintains close contact with the riverbed. It pairs well with smaller nymphs in a two-fly rig or can be fished solo when targeting trout feeding near the bottom. This fly is particularly effective in tailwaters, as well as during winter and early spring, when fish are keying in on molting scuds and shrimp.
