High Summer, High Floats, High Drama
RIO Juicy Hopper
From grassy cutbanks to breezy meadows, few things fire up big trout like a hopper hitting the water—and the RIO Juicy Hopper is your high-season ticket to surface eats. Designed for maximum realism and performance, this foam-bodied terrestrial does it all: floats like a cork, sits right every time, and fools even the most selective browns and rainbows from July 4th to first frost.
A heavy curved hook drops the center of gravity so it rides true, while color-matched legs, lifelike body markings, and properly positioned antennae provide the visual authenticity that turns casual looks into full-on crushes. It also doubles as an excellent dry-dropper anchor, thanks to its high-floating foam construction.
Call it a summer essential. Call it your next go-to. Just don’t head to the river without it.
