Calf Tail Special Salmon Ben's Blue Shiner

The Ben's Blue Shiner is a Calf Tail Special salmon hairwing — a flashing pearl body under a blue-and-white calf-tail wing with a red throat, built to swim like a bright baitfish in the swing.

The blue-over-white baitfish scheme imitates the smelt and shiners that staging salmon and steelhead chase, drawing aggressive grabs on a classic down-and-across swing.

Best for:

• Swinging for salmon and steelhead
  
• Clear rivers where a baitfish profile shines
  
• Imitating smelt and shiners in the current

📌 Pro Tip: Swing it on a tight line through holding water and let it hang at the end — the calf-tail wing pulses in the current and the grab often comes on the dangle.
