Description
RIO's Ghost Buster Shrimp is a premium steelhead fly designed to provoke aggressive strikes with its lifelike movement, realistic profile, and carefully balanced features. Measuring 4 inches long, this fly incorporates moving claws, enticing eyes, and just the right touch of flash and wiggle to catch the attention of wary steelhead. The gold barbell eyes add subtle weight to maintain an ideal position in the water column without compromising the natural appearance or movement of the fly. Perfect for targeting steelhead in both rivers and estuaries.
Pro Tip
Fish the Ghost Buster Shrimp on a swing in slower runs or deeper pools where steelhead are holding. Use a sink-tip line to position the fly at the right depth and allow the natural current to activate the claws and flash. Incorporate occasional pauses in your retrieve to mimic the erratic motion of a real shrimp, triggering instinctual strikes.
