The Umpqua Squirmy Wormie Jig TB takes the infamous worm pattern and arms it with tactical precision. While the squirmy wormie has long earned its place as a go-to attractor fly, Umpqua’s jigged version brings it into the modern nymphing era. This isn’t just another squirmy—it’s the smart, deep-diving cousin that knows how to get down and stay there.
Tied on a jig hook and anchored with a slotted tungsten bead, this pattern rides hook-point up for reduced snags and maximum strike potential. It slithers with natural movement that entices fish in high water, murky flows, and even under pressured conditions where flash alone won’t cut it. Whether you’re Euro-nymphing, tight-line drifting, or bouncing the bottom under an indicator, this worm means business.
