RickZieger 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2020 Christian.s a question I have, not to be mean or ornery. Why the wing case on the bottom of the fly? I think it might work better if it was on the eye side of the jig. Please give me the reasonbing. Rick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also I fish them bouncing off the bottom and the fly will roll and bounce so the wing case will show as it’s rolling on the bottom. I know a ton of people tie jig flies upside down but I don’t find it make a difference to the fish lol. and no big deal I’m happy to answer questions.
