The Assassin is a stealthy unweighted nymph built for those subtle, sight-fishing moments. The epoxy wing case gives it just the right amount of sheen, and the fine copper rib adds a hint of attraction without over-doing it.
Because it’s unweighted, it sits in the upper part of the water column — perfect for polaroiding cruisers in lakes, or sliding it under the film when fish are rising but ignoring dries. Deadly on spooky trout that bolt the moment anything heavy hits the water.
Why we like it:
-
Epoxy wing case = subtle flash for added realism
-
Copper rib gives just enough attraction
-
Ideal for polaroiding or fishing just under the surface
-
Works in both lakes and rivers when trout are feeding up high
A quiet achiever — until your line tightens.
