Purple Tail CDC
The Purple Tail CDC is a tungsten bead euro nymph built for tight-line fishing in rivers and tailwaters. The CDC collar breathes and pulses with every micro-movement of the current, creating a lifelike, soft profile that trout find irresistible. The purple tail adds a subtle attractor element — a proven trigger color that draws attention without overpowering the natural look of the fly. The tungsten bead gets it into the strike zone fast, even in heavy water.
