The Material Matters: Long-Lasting Durability
A primary advantage of the CFA JIg Squirmy Wormy Fly is their durability. The materials used in our worms outlast many generic options. This means they can endure more fish strikes, giving anglers more time to enjoy fishing instead of constantly replacing flies.
The MFC beads we use are known for their high quality. Unlike cheaper variants, these beads are less likely to chip, ensuring your worm remains effective over repeated uses. To illustrate this, other low-cost worms may last just two or three strikes before needing replacement, while CFA worms can endure twice as many without losing their effectiveness. The material that we use is also not prone to melting in the summer.
The other benefit of the CFA Jig Squirmy Wormy Fly is the Umpqua hooks we use. Umpqua hooks are designed for optimal performance, allowing anglers to fish confidently without the worry of losing a strike. Their exceptional craftsmanship and durability make them a preferred choice for both amateur and professional fishermen alike.
Adding Flash: The Power of Holographic Tinsel
Experienced anglers understand that flash can be a game changer. The inclusion of holographic tinsel in our squirmy worms provides an attractive sheen that trout find hard to resist. This feature is especially beneficial in stained rivers, which often become murky in the spring due to snowmelt and runoff.
In muddy waters, visibility drops sharply, and trout are more willing to sample anything that resembles food. The added flash from our worms draws their attention and enhances the effectiveness of the worm as it moves in the water.
The Mystery of Movement: Not Just Tied to the Hook
The construction technique of the CFA Jig Squirmy worms is another secret to their success. Unlike conventional squirmy worms, which have materials tied directly onto the hook, our worms are tied to the hook with a stick that is embedded in the worm material., which is designed for more independent movement and durability. This freedom of movement allows the worm to mimic the natural behavior of food in the water.
This unique construction can significantly improve your chances of catching fish. For example, anglers have noted increased strikes when using our squirmy worms, citing that the wiggle and undulation appear more realistic, prompting trout to investigate out of curiosity.
The Right Color for Every Situation
Choosing the right color is just as essential as employing effective techniques in fly fishing. At CFA, we offer a variety of squirmy worm colors tailored for specific fishing conditions.
Orange: A Spring Favorite
Orange squirmy worms shine in spring, particularly in stained waters. Their vibrant coloration signals food to trout and makes them an irresistible option when visibility is low.
Pink: Clarity and Crowds
In clearer waters or busier fishing areas, pink squirmy worms perform exceptionally well. Their subtle yet noticeable color attracts fish without causing alarm, making them an excellent choice in crowded spots.
Purple: The High Country Go-To
For those fishing in high country or freestone streams, our purple squirmy worm is a fantastic option. It blends beautifully with the natural surroundings while retaining essential attributes that boost its effectiveness.
Red: An All-Time Necessity
No fly fisherman’s box is complete without the classic red squirmy worm. Trout have a strong affinity for red, making it a must-have in any tackle box. It performs well in varying conditions, from low visibility to crystal-clear waters.
