Red Tag Sand Shrimp
Red-tag sand shrimp
MulletShallow
A red-tag variant of Romy's Sand Shrimp — olive/yellow dubbed body finely ribbed with gold wire, with a bright red wool tail-tag replacing the plain tail. Colin Macleod's most successful pattern of 2018.
Fish this when
Warmer months over sandy ground, wherever the plain sand shrimp works but a stronger visual trigger helps.
Why it works
Keeps the proven sand-shrimp silhouette and adds a red focal point — the same trigger logic as the Hot Tag variants in this range.
