Red Wool Tag Mullet Bach
Mullet Bach with a red trigger
MulletFilm
A dark dubbed body ribbed with fine gold wire, two small red glass beads at the head, and a bright red wool tail-tag — a Mullet Bach variant introduced by Colin Macleod in summer 2017.
Fish this when
Same water as the plain Mullet Bach — quiet creeks and harbour edges — when a red trigger point is worth adding.
Why it works
"The trigger of the red wool tail can make all the difference" — the twin head beads add a little extra flash without changing the small, food-suggestive silhouette.
