Description
The RIO's Meat Sweats is a jigged sculpin pattern developed by RIO Products to effectively imitate bottom-dwelling baitfish. Its distinctive lead-filled belly ensures the hook rides upward, allowing the fly to maintain close contact with the substrate without snagging. This design is particularly effective for enticing species such as trout, bass, and redfish
Pro Tip
Employ a slow retrieve near structure: Retrieve the fly slowly past submerged rocks and logs, mimicking a sculpin's movement and provoking strikes from ambushing predators.
