Oily Mike

Soft Beads for Steelhead & Salmon Fishing

Oily Mike is a confidence color for anglers who want visibility without going full neon. This deep blood red bead carries a subtle blue sheen that flashes just enough in moving water, making it highly effective in dirty to moderate clarity when fish need contrast but still respond to a more natural look.

The darker red profile shows up well in heavy flow and stained rivers while maintaining a realistic egg presence that pressured salmon and steelhead won’t shy away from. Poured from premium soft plastic, Oily Mike steelhead beads drift clean and natural and encourages fish to hold on longer once they commit.

Each soft bead is crafted for neutral buoyancy, allowing for a smooth, natural drift that closely imitates real salmon eggs. The color profile is carefully developed to perform in a variety of water conditions, making them effective soft beads for steelhead fishing as well as a dependable option for bead fishing for salmon.
