As the name implies this jig streamer disguised as a small rainbow smolt also does a great job representing a wide variety of baitfish.
Tied on a size 12 2xl barbless jig streamer hook, a 4.6 bead, and about 10 wraps of .020 lead wire, this fly dead drifts exceptionally well and the thick spun collar will undulate when jigged.
Big fudged pro tip, tie this on as a point fly with a smaller tracer streamer above it, head to your local tailwater during the shad kill and hold on.
