{"product_id":"hot-shot-leech-purple","title":"Hot Shot Leech - Purple","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHot Shot Leech – Purple\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Hot Shot Leech is a proven pattern for steelhead, salmon, and sea-run trout — a leech imitation built with dumbbell eyes that give it a distinctive jigging action and get it down into the strike zone fast. Purple is one of the most legendary and consistently productive colors in steelhead and salmon fly fishing, with a long history of triggering strikes in rivers and tidal water across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. The hot shot element adds a bright, contrasting trigger point that draws attention and provokes reaction strikes, while the dumbbell eyes create a head-down, jigging action on the retrieve that imitates the natural undulating movement of a leech.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePattern Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leech imitation \/ steelhead and salmon streamer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purple — one of the most proven and legendary steelhead and salmon colors in fly fishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEyes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dumbbell eyes — create a head-down jigging action that imitates the natural movement of a leech\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHot shot:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright contrasting trigger point — draws attention and provokes reaction strikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest water:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rivers, runs, and tidal water — deep pools, tailouts, and holding water for steelhead, salmon, and sea-run trout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTarget species:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steelhead, salmon, and sea-run trout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechniques:\u003c\/strong\u003e Swung across and downstream on the hang; stripped with a jigging action through deep pools and runs; dead-drifted through holding water under an indicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes available:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eA legendary steelhead and salmon color in a proven leech design — the Purple Hot Shot Leech gets into the strike zone fast and delivers the jigging action and bold profile that triggers strikes from fish holding deep in rivers and tidal water.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pursuit FlyWorX","offers":[{"title":"10","offer_id":67767046078768,"sku":"17016X","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0436\/8767\/4012\/files\/hotshotpurple.jpg?v=1789049274","url":"https:\/\/nativesflyfishing.com\/products\/hot-shot-leech-purple","provider":"Natives Fly Fishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
