Tungsten Rib Caddis

Our Tungsten Rib Caddis is a fast-sinking caddis pupa imitation designed to reach the strike zone quickly while maintaining a slim, natural insect profile. The tungsten bead adds substantial weight without increasing bulk, allowing the fly to cut through fast current and drift naturally along the bottom where trout feed aggressively on emerging caddis.  The ribbed body creates realistic segmentation and subtle flash, imitating the trapped gas bubbles often seen on ascending caddis pupae. Combined with a buggy collar, the pattern produces lifelike movement.
