5.0 Coyote Jig Streamer
5.0 Coyote Jig Streamer is a heavy, double beaded jig streamer from Clark "Cheech" Pierce, made to get down into deep holes. The idea came from watching Alec Gerbec fish a double beaded jig streamer in that kind of water. Two slotted tungsten beads supply the weight, and everything else is simply wrapped on the hook with no dubbing: a marabou tail, a Streamer Straggle body and a Polar Fiber Streamer Brush head. Change the colors and size to suit your own water. Tied here on a size 10 hook.
