Prize Fighter, Lightweight

Permit are easily spooked, even by your dime-sized crab fly splashing too much upon entry. RIO's Prize Fighter behaves more like a human diver who enters the water with a "rip" and minimal noise and splash. We were able to achieve this result thanks to our unique weight placement, as well as the fringe and legs, which help kick the fly over, breaking up the cavitation and quieting the entry. Its translucent legs and claws are not soft like silicone, so they hold their shape better when the fly is swimming. Mottled colors are great matches for most permit destinations, whether fishing over sand, grass, coral, or marl.
