Ideal for skinny water Barra fishing, the Smelling Salt is ideal for fishing in heavy weed and timber thanks to the mono weed guard, neutral buoyancy, and heavy-duty hook.
Rio on the Smelling Salt
RIO's Smelling Salt was designed with the laid up tarpon in mind, with a soft landing presentation, foul preventing mono loop under the tail, and neutral buoyancy for a perfect fishing fly. On recent research trips it was noted that this fly also had a very interesting side effect, in addition to tarpon, snook couldn't keep their mouths away from it. This pattern is ideal for the Florida fisherman that doesn't necessarily want to purchase "tarpon specific" patterns, and would rather buy patterns that will work for many species.
