Since the creation of Rio's Precious Metal, it has proven to be worthy in every fishery it's been tested in - from the Missouri River to the Arkansas - and it keeps producing fish.
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.
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.
Same as the Gotcha, but with a monofilament weed guard
