Red Top - Black Foam Beetle

Think insects are boring? Think again. The Red Top - Black Foam Beetle is basically insect cosplay for trout — a tiny floaty snack that says, “Dinner, served.” Perfect for anglers who prefer witty catches and fewer missed strikes.

Who it’s for: Dry-fly anglers, pond stalkers, stream stalkers, and anyone who enjoys convincing fish that today’s menu is “terrible little bug.” Built for folks who live AXG Life — Life, Adventure-Ready — and like their gear to behave as boldly as their weekend plans.

Key Features & Design

• Colors: Red top with a black foam beetle body — high-contrast to catch attention without shouting.
• Material: Foam body for natural buoyancy and easy casting.
• Buoyancy: Floats well — stays visible on the surface so you can see every suspicious nudge and confident smash.
• Profile: Beetle/ant imitation — sized and shaped to mimic insects that routinely plummet into the water and become fish bait.

Performance & Benefits

Designed to mimic beetles and ants that fall on the water, this foam beetle gives fish a realistic, tempting target. The red top adds a subtle trigger point, while the black foam body keeps the profile natural. It’s the sort of fly that turns stuck weekends into hero stories and makes those late-afternoon takes feel personal.

Because it floats well, you get more time to read the water, set your drift, and react to that telltale splash. Works great in stillwaters and slow-moving streams — when fish are keying on surface insects, this is your “yes” answer.

Why you’ll appreciate it

• Easy to see and track on the surface — less squinting, more catching.
• Durable foam construction stands up to repeated casts and questionable landings.
• Simple, effective design that doesn’t need bells and whistles to get noticed by fish.

Add the Red Top - Black Foam Beetle to your kit and watch mundane afternoons turn into stories worth telling around the fire. Toss it in your fly box and make your next cast feel like a well-delivered punchline — Add to cart and make Monday jealous.
