Hot Tag Flashback Mud Shrimp
Flashback mud shrimp
MulletShallow
An iridescent blue/green/purple pearlescent flashback body over a dark dubbed thorax, with a bright red marabou tail-tag — a higher-visibility mud shrimp for coloured water or competitive feeding.
Fish this when
Flooding mud flats and coloured water, alongside the plain mud shrimp patterns, when extra flash and a red trigger help.
Why it works
The pearlescent flashback catches light even in murky tidal water, keeping the mud-shrimp silhouette visible where a plain dubbed body would fade.
