Troutbitten Standard Mono Rig

$26.00

28 in stock

The Troutbitten Standard Mono Rig is an extremely versatile tool for the tight line angler. It is the base of a hybrid fly fishing system, built for fishing tight line and euro nymphing styles, indicator styles, dry dropper, streamers of all sizes, wet flies and even dry flies.

This is the leader I’ve written about extensively on Troutbitten.

  • Troutbitten Standard Sighter (with Backing Barrel) is built in.
  • Includes a high quality, black, 1.5 mm tippet ring at the end of the Standard Sighter.
  • Leader concludes at the end of the sighter. Angler adds appropriate length of tippet.
  • Includes two feet of 1X sighter material. Add this to extend the sighter for a longer sagless reach with lighter flies.
  • Comes on a three-inch plastic spool, perfect for storing long leaders.
  • Includes three rigging foams, for swapping and storing tippet sections: two nymphs, a pair of streamers, dry dropper, etc. (Rigging foam colors may vary.)

Also Offered: All three Troutbitten Mono Rigs are available as a full kit — found HERE.

Riverside

Smith and I hopped the guardrail as traffic whizzed by at sixty miles an hour. Smith went first, with his rod tip trailing behind, and he sliced through the brush like a hunter. I followed with probably too much gear for a three hour trip and a puppy in my arms. River...

Night Shift – Christmas Lights

I decided to fish close to home and in a section that rolls through a small neighborhood.  No, it's more like a series of cabins.  It was an odd choice.  A great choice during the day, but at night I always try to stay away from light sources because I've learned that...

Fifty Fly Fishing Tips: #15 — Tie custom leaders — Here’s why

I started tying my own leaders when the small streams I fished required something different than what I could find in the fly shop. I needed a short, punchy leader to carry a #12 Royal Wulff back into the brush and yet somehow land with enough slack for a short dead...

Troutbitten Fly Box — The Bread-n-Butter Nymph

This simple nymph is a winner. The Bread-n-Butter looks enough like a mayfly nymph, enough like a caddis, or enough like a small stonefly to be a very productive pattern. Whatever trout take it for, it gets attention and seals the deal frequently. It’s on my short...

Fish and Film – Tight Line to the Indicator Nymphing – Broken Hand Suspenders (VIDEO)

** NOTE ** Video Appears Below Fishing is a story . . . Late summer trout fishing in the Northeast can be challenging. But I've had good mornings by choosing cold water and staying open minded to the trout's patterns and habits. Surprisingly, the best fishing has been...
