Chartreuse/FlashRed/Gold FlashWhite/Silver FlashPurple/Flash
If the regular Whistler is a polite knock on the door, the Flashtail Whistler is a marching band in your living room. The added flash material catches and throws light in every direction, creating a spectacle that fish in murky water can detect from remarkable distances. It is gaudy, it is loud, and it works in conditions where more refined patterns sit in the box looking pretty and catching nothing.
