BLOODY MARIA

PURPLE RAIN
DESCRIPTION
The astute fan of 70's pop music would expect Purple Rain to be a riff on the Prince, but this Pheasant Tail variant won’t disappoint. It can be fished under an indicator, in tight-line rigs, or even swung through shallow runs or at the end of drifts. It comes together quickly, is super buggy, and can be altered to your color of choice.
