Key Features
- GLOW IN THE DARK: Built with a luminous belly strip that glows brightly after UV exposure, making it irresistible for night fishing or deep, murky water.
- HEAVY DUTY 6/0 HOOK: Tied on a premium saltwater-grade stainless steel hook. It won't rust, and it definitely won't straighten out when a 100lb Tarpon jumps.
- LIFELIKE ACTION: Made with high-quality synthetic fibers that shed water specifically for easier casting, yet pulse and breathe like a real baitfish in the water.
- TRIGGER POINT EYES: Oversized 3D holographic eyes provide a clear strike point for predatory fish, increasing hook-up ratios.
- BIG PROFILE: At 5.7 inches (14.5cm) long, this fly pushes a lot of water and presents a substantial meal for trophy predators like Tarpon, GT, Pike, and Musky.

- Description
When you are targeting the "Silver King" (Tarpon) or aggressive GTs, you cannot compromise on hardware. The Rivfly Night Raider Tarpon Fly is built to withstand the harshest saltwater environments and the strongest fish.
Premium Hardware:
100% Saltwater Safe & Anti-Corrosion. Tied on heavy-duty, forged stainless steel hooks designed specifically for saltwater environments. You can trust this hook to resist rust and maintain its razor-sharp point, even after days of exposure to harsh saltwater.
What it imitates:
This streamer mimics a variety of large baitfish such as Mullet, Herring, Sardines, and Needlefish.
Why it works (The Glow Advantage):
Predatory fish often feed most aggressively at dawn, dusk, and night. The integrated Luminous Lateral Line creates a ghostly glow that helps fish locate the fly in low-light conditions where standard flies disappear.
When to use it:
- Tarpon Fishing: Especially effective for the famous "Bridge Fishing" at night or early morning rolling tarpon.
- Murky Water: When visibility is low, the glow and the large profile help fish find the bait.
- Freshwater Monsters: An excellent choice for massive Pike and Musky that hunt large prey.
Color Selection Guide:
- Blue & White: Mimics pelagic baitfish (like Mullet or Herring). Perfect for open water and clear sunny days.
- Pink & White: A powerful "Attractor" color. Use this high-visibility pattern to trigger aggression strikes when fish are lethargic or refusing natural presentations.
- Chartreuse & White: The ultimate "All-Rounder" for stained or murky water. Its high contrast makes it easily visible to predators when water clarity is poor.
- Brown & Natural: Mimics inshore baitfish, shrimp, and crabs. The ideal choice for fishing clear shallow flats where fish are spooky and inspecting the bait closely.
How to rig it:
- Leader: Use a heavy shock tippet (60lb - 80lb Fluorocarbon) to prevent bite-offs.
- Line: Best fished with an Intermediate or Sink-Tip fly line to get it down to the strike zone.
- Retrieval: Use long, slow strips for a gliding action, or fast, erratic strips to trigger a reaction bite.
