It ensures you have a balanced mix of shrimp, crabs, and baitfish patterns. Buying individual flies allows for more customization but requires more knowledge of the specific fishery to avoid missing key items.Belize River Lodge Fly Selection vs. Specialized Permit Selection: This product covers multiple species including Bonefish, Tarpon, and Snook. A Specialized Permit Selection focuses strictly on crab and shrimp patterns for Permit only. Choose the Belize River Lodge Selection if you want to target the full variety of species available at the lodge rather than focusing on just one.Belize River Lodge Fly Selection vs. Generic Saltwater Assortment: The Belize River Lodge Selection is tuned specifically for the local forage and water colors of Central Belize. A Generic Saltwater Assortment might contain flies that are too large or the wrong color for this specific area. Choose this lodge-specific kit to maximize your chances of success in these specific waters.
