Purple Blowtorch (4-Pack)

Description: 

Originally developed by competitive angler Devin Olsen, the Purple Blowtorch is a variation of the classic tag nymph designed for visibility and fast sink rate. The purple body and fluorescent tail create contrast that gets noticed, while the CDC collar adds a touch of movement. It's a reliable attractor pattern.

Specs:

• Tied on a barbless jig hook
• Size 16: 2.8mm tungsten bead
• Size 18: 2.4mm tungsten bead
• Glo-Brite fluorescent pink tail for maximum reflectivity
• UV purple Ice Dub body
• Two size #16 and two size #18 in the box

What we like:

We like the Purple Blowtorch for its dual hot spots, a fluorescent pink Glo-Brite tail and a CDC collar that adds lifelike movement. The UV purple body provides contrast, while the tungsten bead helps it sink quickly and stay in the zone. It stands out in murky, off colored or fast water but still pairs easily with more natural flies in a two-fly setup, making it both versatile and effective.

How to fish it:

Fish it under a larger dry fly or as part of a two-fly indicator setup. It works well in riffles, seams, and faster runs, anywhere you need your fly to sink quickly and stand out. A solid option when trout are holding deep or when visibility is low.
