Not the original pattern, but some interesting changes. Hard to argue with a Rainbow Hued (not "head") bead for a Rainbow Warrior - would appear to be the perfect choice. The rib is some additional step that doesn't really seem necessary since the body is already nicely segmented. But it can add more contrast to the segmentation. If the rib is for durability, Lance Egan addresses that by using larger size flash material, thus it overlaps more and gives better durability. Thanks for the video.
Rainbow warriors are one of my favorite pattern. I really enjoyed watching you tie your variant of this classic. I've never used jig hooks but, I believe I will in the future. One difference between mine and yours is that I like to use UV peacock herl tips as my tailing material. Like you said though, the possibilities are endless.
Yes I Would Try Out A Jig Hook If You Come By Them, The Possibilities Are Endless I Think Whatever You Feel Confident In Fishing On The River! Thanks For Watching.
Those plummeting beads I've found at JS Stockard. They work great, but after a few long drifts I've noticed the paint flecks off. Doesn't affect performance, and the trout don't seem to mind less color lol. Nice fly!
nice fly and im sure it will catch lots of fish but its not a rainbow warrior...its a variant of the pattern and quite a bit different from the original
Nice variant. Will try a few on the Tongararo River on Friday. Thanks from NZ down under.
Thanks for sharing!

Love the jig style flies for still water,fished under an indicator with a smaller nymph or wet fly trail off the bend of the jig hook,nice pattern

Nice pattern! I'm tying a few up now. I found some Veevus holo tinsel in Rainbow, it looks absolutely perfect with the rainbow dubbing.
Cody Unczur Ive Wanted To Try The Veevus Havent Been To Get My Hands On It Yett! Still Looking , Thanks For Watching!
This is a different version than I tie but I like the jig hook instead of a curved. Good dropper nymph.

No Escape Outdoors I Think It Adds A Little Character To The Fly After It Gets Dinged Up! Thanks!
The Fly Fiend agreed! They show teeth marks well to lol. Very welcome! I enjoy all your vids!
I have a lot of luck with the rainbow warrior I'll have to tie some jig patterns up for euro nymphing thanks for the video
Defiantly ! Jig Hooks Are The Way To Go Hehe.
