This jig works great in both still waters and moving streams. The tungsten head keeps it steady on the surface and it casts smoothly. I’ve used it for several days now and it’s catching small trout consistently.
Boris Thomson –
The Red Light Jig is a solid alternative to the original leech. It’s easier to handle without a barb and works well when retrieved slowly. A bit heavier than expected, but that’s fine for the water I fish in.

Fished in a cold stream this morning and caught two trout with it. The action when retrieved is natural and the fly stays in place well. Great for beginners and experienced anglers alike.
