Fishing jigged streamers has long been one of my favorite ways to fish on a tightline rig. But traditional patterns are often just a bead and a bit of material—lacking the lifelike appeal of my go-to streamers. That’s where the Jigged Micro Meat comes in.
I believe eyes are a critical trigger for predatory fish, and the JMM puts them front and center. On pressured water, having the weight hidden can be the difference between catching a few fish... or a lot.
This fly is incredibly versatile—it casts easily on a 5-weight with a floating line, fishes beautifully on a Euro setup, and works great as a trailer in a two-fly rig. While it’s deadly on trout, don’t be surprised when it starts putting up numbers on a wide range of warmwater species, too.
