Small Mouse, Big Mayhem
RIO Pip Squeak Baby
Don’t let the name fool you—the RIO Pip Squeak Baby may be downsized, but it punches well above its weight when it comes to trout-enticing chaos. A scaled-down version of the legendary Pip Squeak, this micro mouse pattern is designed for 4–5 weight rods, giving every angler access to the heart-racing, surface-smashing strikes of mouse fishing—without the need for heavy gear.
Perfect for skittering along grassy banks, crawling over log jams, or drifting through shallow riffles, the Pip Squeak Baby mimics a swimming rodent with uncanny realism. Its compact size makes it ideal for average-sized trout that might shy away from larger mouse patterns but won’t hesitate to destroy this baby on a well-placed drift.
A must-have for the adventurous dry-fly angler looking to provoke aggressive takes after hours or during overcast ambush windows. Once you try it, you’ll never look at small water the same way again.
