Complete with a translucent shell, the Bunky Shrimp is a big hit for bonefish in Mexico and the Bahamas as well as other tropical regions.

Universal small heavy shrimp for every shrimp eating flats fish.

Designed initially for those on the east coast of Florida, this surface popping shrimp was a custom fly that turned into a much sought production pattern. It has been a key pattern for those on Biscayne Bay, the Keys and Everglades for snook and bonefish, as well as those targeting saltwater salmon in Puget Sound and Alaska.

For every few fish that want a baitfish, there's always one that wants a surface bug. The RIO's Gurgler Alarm is the ideal "do everything" pattern for that fish. Tied on a heavy saltwater hook and with a weed guard, this fly will work for everything from bass to tarpon.

For those targeting winter redfish in Louisiana, this is the fly you need. Proven to entice and land multiple bulls over 30 lbs., this fly was the winner after a recent research trip. With extra heavy lead eyes and a stout saltwater hook, the Hopedale Crab is a redfish slaying dream. It also has been proven to entice drum of large sizes.

Big fish like little fish, and soon after the original Kinky Muddler started making the rounds and netting some monsters, those same big fish told us they needed a trimmer, smaller version as well. This pattern is a stealthy, neutrally buoyant baitfish imitation that mimics the profile of small and midsized baits. It sports a water-pushing head that makes its tail wiggle just like a real baitfish, and it calls tarpon, snook, and reds out from the mangroves. Largemouth bass love to ambush it as it hovers near lily pads, and it’s also a killer baitfish imitation in clear water flats and bays, when you need something subtle that can be inched and scooted along in shallow water for stripers and blues. And yet, despite its backcountry pedigree, raging albies and small tuna in the rips also love to hammer it, because it swims so naturally.
