RIVAS / REAL UNDERWATER FOOTAGE
See it in the water.
Watch the body turn, the finish catch the light, and the lure move through the frame. Short edits from real underwater footage, with original location sound.
Choose a view
Water, light, and viewing angle change how each finish appears. These edited clips show movement; they do not measure diving depth, retrieve speed, or catch performance.
What the footage shows
A minnow-shaped RIVAS lure moves through water above a rocky bottom. Its body changes angle and its sides reflect the available light. The edits contain several views, not one continuous take. Audio is recorded water and handling sound; no spoken instructions are needed to follow the footage.
The fish came first.
RIVAS draws its color language from the lines, bars, flashes, and shadows of six Texas fish. The collection brings those references together on one minnow body, from translucent olive-gold to deep black-and-gold bars.
Compare the back, flank, and belly of each finish. The color notes explain the fish behind the pattern and the details carried into the lure.
Made for time on the water.
RIVAS is intended for freshwater and saltwater use. Before fishing, compare the listed lure weight with your rod’s lure-weight range and check the hooks and hardware. Its exposed treble hooks call for a clear retrieve path rather than a weedless presentation through dense vegetation.
After saltwater use, rinse the lure and hardware with fresh water. Let them dry completely before returning the lure to a closed tackle box.

RIVAS is not yet for sale. The expected First Drop price is $29.99, with stock planned to ship from the United States. The release date will be announced after final production details are confirmed.
