The Tactical SOS is a variation of the orginal SOS only this one is tied on a jig hook. Although this is a deadly pattern for Euro anglers it's also great fished as a dropper off a dry fly. It's been a proven pattern all over the world. This fly will fool the pickiest of trouts so when nothing else works try a Tactical SOS.
