The Blood Dot is a very distinct pattern and looks, acts and fishes differently than most egg patterns. What differentiates the Blood Dot from other egg imitations is how closely it imitates natural eggs in size, color and silhouette. Additionally the pattern behaves like a naturally drifting egg when immersed in water and once saturated it becomes translucent and the yoke can be seen as an internal dot just like the real thing.The Blood Dot is most effective in clear to moderately colored water.
