Description

Designed with the intention to improve on the original, RIO's Fruit Strip was tied with the desire to combine the movement of the tail with the jigging action of a jigged head, which deviates from the original and perfectly mimics the way a leech swims. This makes the fly a fantastic stripped and swung option, with the ability to pick your poison, so to speak, on the water.

Field Notes

This is a streamer-style fly designed to imitate a leech with a lot of movement, making it a strong choice for stripped retrieves and swung presentations. It should shine in stillwater, trout spey, or streamer situations where fish are keying on larger prey and a more animated profile.

Pros

  • Strong leech-like profile and movement
  • Versatile for stripping or swinging
  • Useful in stillwater and streamer applications

Cons

  • May be too large or bulky for very selective fish
  • Not ideal when fish are focused on tiny insects
