Todd’s Mini Vampire Bomber Jig Fly #14 Barbless is a compact, high-contrast pattern that gets noticed when trout are holding tight or being selective. At Fred’s, it’s a go-to if you’re looking for a small jig fly for trout and brook trout that still stands out in the water.
KEY FEATURES
• #14 jig hook profile for natural drift and fewer snags
• Barbless design for easy releases
• High-contrast materials for visibility in varying conditions
• Compact size for pressured or selective trout
• Balanced to ride hook point up
FRED’S TIP
Fish this under an indicator or tight-line it—great option when trout won’t move far but still need something they can see.
EXPANDED DESCRIPTION
The Mini Vampire Bomber Jig Fly is built for situations where downsizing your presentation makes a difference. The #14 size gives you a subtle profile, but the materials still provide enough contrast and movement to get attention.
The jig hook design helps it ride hook point up, reducing snags when fishing close to bottom—especially useful in smaller streams or technical water. It also helps with hook-ups when trout are taking lightly.
This pattern is especially effective for trout and brook trout in clear water or pressured conditions where a smaller, cleaner presentation can outperform larger flies.
BEST FOR
• Trout and brook trout fishing
• Indicator nymphing and tight-lining
• Clear water and pressured fish
• Fishing close to bottom
SPECS
• Hook Size: #14

FRED’S APPROVED
Good one to have when trout get picky—small, visible, and easy to fish in a lot of different setups.
