By combining the natural, buggy silhouette of pheasant tail fibers with a vibrant hot head and a soft CDC collar, it perfectly bridges the gap between a realistic imitation and a high-attraction trigger fly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Foundation:\u003c\/b\u003e The natural mottling of pheasant tail fibers perfectly mimics the most abundant aquatic insects in the river, providing a realistic base profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Pulse:\u003c\/b\u003e A wispy collar of CDC (Cul de Canard) traps tiny air bubbles and breathes in the current, bringing an incredible illusion of life to a dead drift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Trigger:\u003c\/b\u003e The fluorescent \"hot head\" thread wrap sits just behind the bead, providing a distinct focal point that forces reaction strikes even when fish aren't actively feeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Drop:\u003c\/b\u003e Built on a premium jig hook with a heavy tungsten bead, it bombs into the strike zone immediately and rides inverted, sliding over bottom structure instead of snagging it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/b\u003e Sold in packs of 12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGuide Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e This is an absolute must-have for technical waters like the Bow River. When the trout are hyper-pressured and ignoring standard bead heads, drop this fly down as your point fly. The bright hot head grabs their attention from a distance, but that lifelike, pulsing CDC collar convinces them it's natural food right before they strike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fish Fuel","offers":[{"title":"12","offer_id":47415447847087,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14","offer_id":47415447879855,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16","offer_id":47415447912623,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18","offer_id":47415447945391,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/9994\/1295\/files\/CDCPTHotHead.jpg?v=1788024969","url":"https:\/\/fishfuel.ca\/products\/cdc-pheasant-tail-hot-head-12-flies","provider":"Fish Fuel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
