RIO's King Splitsville Beetle Redington Freshwater Reels Collection Avalon Light – Tan

Avalon Light – Tan

The ZERO 4/5 is so light

In a world where the Elk Hair Caddis is the tried and true staple for caddis pattern imitations

The dark wing pad with a little bit of flash are all trigger points

with a tail that looks identical to an empty body casing as the insect emerges

RIO's King Splitsville Beetle Redington Freshwater Reels Collection Avalon Light – TanTrout love beetles, but the flies that imitate them often miss the mark. A real beetle thats stumbled onto the water isnt calm, cool and collected, but is usually frantically trying to right itself, with its wings splayed and legs akimbo. The Splitsville Beetles captures that vulnerability perfectly, with its spent wing profile and spray of hackle fibers. And unlike most beetle patterns, you can see it clearly even when you tuck it in the shadows
