RIO's Dread Pirate is no myth, but a deadly tarpon fly with eyes are made from RIO's Kahuna LT strike indicator - allowing this fly to sink horizontally.
Rio's Marabou Toad is designed specifically for throwing at resting or "laid up" tarpon. The combination of materials give the fly a slower sink rate which helps keep the fly in front of the fish longer, enticing the grab.
Make it Euro-friendly with a barbless jig hook and tungsten bead. Next, swap out natural fibers for flash on the tails and legs. Offered in a variety of colors for all situations. On noon patrol? Tie on Pheasant Tail (brown) color to imitate PMD's.
Rio's Fiddler on the Reef is an extremely universal fly. From Permit to Stripers, this fly is sure to prove it is one of the best crab patterns on the market.
The Shrimp Tease was designed with a perfect mix of flash, rubberlegs, and weight to create the all around redfish fly for use from the Carolinas to the Florida coast.
This slimmed down damsel nymph pattern has a marabou tail that moves with the swimming motion of the real insect, and a features a pulled over deer hair head that keeps this fly neutrally buoyant.
