Spring Wiggler Blood Red

The Spring Wiggler – Blood Red runs the deepest red in the family: a dark crimson body under brown squirrel shellback and hackle. Less alarm than flame, more saturation than burnt orange—the color of roe at its richest and flesh at its freshest.

Deep reds are quiet killers in tannic water, where they hold warmth that brighter tones lose. Blood red also draws the territorial streak in pre-spawn fish, making it a strong late-winter and early-spring drifter.

Best for:

• Tannic and tea-stained tributaries
  
• Pre-spawn territorial fish
  
• Rich-roe and flesh-toned drifts

📌 Pro Tip: In tannin-dark water, deep red outlasts bright orange—the stain mutes hot colors but lets crimson glow at close range.
