RIO’s Ground Beetle Fly (6-pack)
Most fly anglers already have small beetles in their fly boxes (and if they don’t, they probably should). But you don’t often see beetle flies in the larger sizes even though these larger bugs are abundant along most river banks. RIO’s Ground Beetle features an irridescent underbody, rubber legs and a foam sighter. It also has a beautiful shell back that has been protected with a flexible UV coating for durability. Beetles make wonderful searching bugs if you don’t know what is hatching.

These beetles look very realistic, especially the iridescent underbody. The UV coating on the shell back holds up well even after several weeks of outdoor storage. I’ve used them during early spring fishing and they’ve caught a few trout. The rubber legs move naturally in the water.

Good quality for the price. The foam sighter helps with visibility when casting. I noticed the shell back doesn’t scratch easily, which is a plus. Works well in medium current conditions.

I’ve been using these for a few months now and they still look new. The flexibility of the UV coating is impressive. They’re perfect for searching in areas where I don’t know what’s hatching.
