Egg sucking leech patterns are an incredibly effective during spawning periods. They combine the movement of a leech with a bright, tungsten bead representing an egg. Salmonids voraciously key in on nutrient-dense eggs in their environment, as food becomes less plentiful and they instinctually try to pack on weight. This pattern features a marabou tail, chenille body, a soft hackle collar, and an orange tungsten bead.
This pattern is tied on barbless, black nickel - finished jig hooks.
This product listing is for 4 flies. Below are the tungsten bead sizes I will default to depending on the size of hooks you order. Feel free to request different sized beads.
