Overview

Lance Egan’s Warrior Perdigon merges two lethal ideas: a slick, fast‑sinking perdigon shell and the proven “Rainbow Warrior” attractor palette. The glassy, UV‑friendly finish sheds drag so the fly rockets to the deck, hugs the lane, and pops free of micro‑eddies that toss fluffier nymphs. That speed matters in winter tailwaters, in summer pocket water, and anytime trout pin themselves to a narrow conveyor belt of food. The lean underbody and hard coat keep the silhouette crisp after multiple fish; the subtle rainbow tones flash just enough to be seen in depth without looking gaudy. Fished as a point fly, it anchors a team and tows a small midge or soft hackle; as a tag it knifes through the column and tracks true in cross‑currents.

Long leaders, light tippet, and a high rod angle let you feel contact and micro‑takes. Because it’s nearly indestructible, you spend more time drifting and less time changing flies—key when the window is short and the fish are picky. From technical tailwaters to freestones, the Warrior Perdigon is a modern staple that simply gets in front of trout faster and stays there longer.Read More +
