Beadhead Zebra Midge Purple Size 18 – 12 Pack | Strike Fly Company

Beadhead Zebra Midge Purple — Size 18, 12-Count Pack

Strike Fly Company presents a Beadhead Zebra Midge in a vibrant purple, sized 18, sold as a 12-count set. The beadhead design adds a touch of weight for a controlled drift, while the zebra pattern provides a natural, understated profile that can mimic a range of small aquatic prey. This combination is crafted to give anglers a reliable option for nymph fishing across different water types and light conditions.

In practice, the purple hue offers visibility in a variety of water tones, from clearer streams to lightly stained pockets, without overpowering the presentation. The size 18 is a classic choice for mid-to-diminutive nymph patterns, enabling a subtle, lifelike appearance that can be paired with a standard nymph rig or a light strike indicator setup. The 12-count format is designed for versatility, letting you rotate depths, adapt to changing flows, and keep a steady supply ready for extended sessions.

Construction and appearance The Beadhead Zebra Midge features a compact body with a contrasting purple beadhead. The bead adds vertical profile and weight, helping the lure reach target depths more predictably, while the zebra pattern delivers a simple, recognizable silhouette that can read well on the water under a range of light angles.

Two practical advantages First, the beadhead weight helps you manage depth with confidence as you cast and mend. Second, the purple color choice provides a visible cue that can help you track line movement and detect subtle takes, especially in fast currents or brighter water with glare.
