Squirminator - Bloodworm Red

Squirminator – Bloodworm Red

The Squirminator - Bloodworm Red is a precise chironomid larva imitation tied on a jig hook with a tungsten bead — one of the most effective patterns you can fish on tailwaters and stillwaters where bloodworms are a primary food source. The jig hook rides hook-point-up through the drift to minimize snags, while the deep red squirm material imitates the natural color and movement of a bloodworm drifting through the water column with uncanny realism. When trout are locked onto chironomid larvae and refusing everything else, this is the fly that gets eaten.

Pattern Details

A must-have for tailwater and stillwater anglers — natural, precise, and consistently effective when trout are keyed on bloodworms.
