{"product_id":"duracell-bomb-fly","title":"Duracell Bomb Fly","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Duracell Bomb Fly is a must-have pattern for anglers who need to reach deep water quickly. This jig nymph features an oversized tungsten bead that pulls the fly down into the feeding zone faster than standard patterns. It combines a flashy body with a soft collar to create a look that trout find hard to resist. You can trust this fly to hold the bottom in fast currents where big fish often hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Imitates\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pattern does not copy one specific bug. Instead, it looks like many different food sources that trout eat. The brown body and red ribbing look like a mayfly nymph or a caddis larva. The soft collar moves like legs or wings to make the fly look alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow To Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou should fish this fly using a tight-line or Euro nymphing method. The heavy bead makes it a perfect \"anchor\" fly to straighten your leader and get your other flies deep. You can also fish it under a large dry fly in a \"dry-dropper\" rig. The jig hook rides with the point up, so it snags the bottom less often while drifting through rocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen To Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the Duracell Bomb when you face fast or deep water. It shines in pocket water where currents push lighter flies away from the bottom. The flashy body helps fish see it in cloudy or stained water. It is also a great choice as a searching pattern when you do not see any specific insects hatching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe like this fly because it balances weight with movement. Many heavy flies look stiff, but the CDC collar on this pattern breathes and moves in the water. The synthetic body is very tough and handles many fish without falling apart. It gets down fast and stays there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComparisons\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuracell Bomb Fly vs. Perdigon Nymph\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBoth flies are designed to sink fast. The Perdigon is coated in epoxy and is very smooth, so it sinks slightly faster. However, the Perdigon looks stiff and does not move much. The Duracell Bomb has a soft collar that moves in the current. Choose the Duracell when you want more life-like movement, and choose the Perdigon when you need the absolute fastest sink rate in the fastest water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuracell Bomb Fly vs. Frenchie Jig\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Frenchie Jig is another great Euro nymph pattern. It uses natural pheasant tail fibers for the body, which gives it a more subtle look. The Duracell Bomb uses synthetic dubbing that is flashier and more durable. You should choose the Frenchie for clear water and spooky fish. Choose the Duracell Bomb for faster water or when you need a fly that stands out more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuracell Bomb Fly vs. Bead Head Pheasant Tail\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe standard Bead Head Pheasant Tail is a classic nymph that catches fish everywhere. The Duracell Bomb is an upgrade for modern nymphing because of its jig hook and heavy tungsten bead. The jig hook on the Duracell hooks fish securely in the top of the mouth and snags less on the bottom. The Duracell is also heavier than most standard Pheasant Tails, making it better for deep runs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Umpqua","offers":[{"title":"Brown \/
