UV Green Weenie Jig

Eastern Summer Secret Weapon

The UV Green Weenie Jig is a legendary pattern in Eastern waters, particularly during the heat of summer when it consistently produces exceptional fishing. This UV-enhanced version features larger tungsten beads on a premium jig hook, making it perfect for Euro nymphing rigs and tight-line presentations.

When to Fish It

• Summer months - Peak effectiveness during hot weather in Eastern waters
• Bright sunny days - UV materials fluoresce underwater, creating extra attraction
• Clear to slightly stained water - High visibility chartreuse stands out perfectly
• Tailwaters and freestone streams - Proven producer across diverse Eastern fisheries
• Year-round prospecting - Works in all seasons but shines in summer

How to Fish It

Fish the UV Green Weenie Jig using Euro nymphing techniques with tight-line contact. The larger tungsten bead provides excellent sink rate, getting the fly down quickly into feeding lanes. Dead-drift along the bottom or use subtle lifts to add movement. The UV-enhanced materials create underwater fluorescence that attracts fish from a distance. Highly effective as a lead fly in multi-fly rigs or fished solo when trout are actively feeding.

Why It's So Effective

This pattern's success in Eastern waters is legendary, especially during summer. The bright chartreuse UV body creates incredible visibility and fluorescence that triggers aggressive strikes. The segmented chenille body provides lifelike movement and suggests various larvae and aquatic worms. The larger tungsten bead gets it down fast while adding an attractive contrast. The jig hook rides point-up to reduce snags in rocky Eastern streams. Fish simply can't resist the combination of color, movement, and UV enhancement.

Specifications: Premium barbless jig hook with larger gold tungsten bead. UV-enhanced chartreuse chenille body for maximum attraction and fluorescence underwater.
