How to Fish It

Fish the Blowtorch Jig 12 inches below another fly of your choice in a tandem rig setup. Use fluorocarbon tippet to limit breakages and bruising while maintaining stealth.

The CDC collar creates subtle, pulsating movement that suggests life, while the pearl flash ribbing adds attraction. The jig hook rides point-up to reduce snags in rocky, fast-moving water.

Why It's So Effective

The slotted tungsten bead gets it down fast while the barbless jig hook ensures solid hooksets and easy releases. Available in multiple proven colors to match various water conditions and insect profiles.
