Crystal Wiggler-Estaz Purple

The Crystal Wiggler – Estaz Purple compresses the Michigan wiggler into pure sparkle: a purple Estaz body that flares with light-catching fibers, finished with a squirrel-tail back. Smaller and flashier than the classic Spring Wiggler, it's the gem-cut version for fish drawn to shimmer.

Purple Estaz earns its drift on overcast days and in the low light of dawn, when its violet sparkle stays defined. Dead-drift it like an egg-nymph hybrid through Great Lakes gravel runs.

Best for:

• Overcast and low-light drifts
  
• Steelhead drawn by sparkle over silhouette
  
• Egg-nymph crossover presentations

📌 Pro Tip: Estaz fishes best with a little tension—let the drift swing slightly at the end so the fibers flare, the trigger flat dead-drifts can miss.
