Oily Mike
Oily Mike is a confidence color for anglers who want visibility without going full neon. This deep blood red bead carries a subtle 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 soft beads drift clean, feels natural, and encourages fish to hold on longer once they commit.
When water has color but isn’t blown out, or when bright reds start to get ignored, Oily Mike is the perfect middle ground—noticeable, natural, and deadly effective.
