Description

The Backwater Crab 3.15” (19g) – Ghost Sand is a hyper-realistic soft crab lure designed for sight-fishing in clear or shallow water. Its translucent, speckled body perfectly imitates a small crab scuttling across sand flats, triggering aggressive strikes from redfish, snook, and tarpon. The Ghost Sand color features a semi-clear olive-tan tone with fine black speckles that reflect light naturally, making it ideal for clear-water or sunny conditions. Its soft, flexible legs and weighted body produce a lifelike crawl and subtle flutter on the fall. Each lure includes a hidden double-hook rig for weedless performance and optimal hook-up ratios. The compact 8 cm body and 19 g weight deliver long casting distance and controlled sink rate — perfect for flats, channels, and mangrove edges. Length: 3.15” (8 cm) Weight: 19 g (0.67 oz) Soft, translucent plastic body Hidden double-hook rig for weedless use Ghost Sand color with fine black speckling Ideal for redfish, snook, tarpon, and sheepshead Best for inshore and nearshore saltwater

Field Notes

Use for sight-fishing on sand flats, shallow channels, and mangrove edges where you can track the lure. Cast to visible structure or cruising fish, then let it crawl and flutter on the fall with a subtle lift-and-drop or slow retrieve to trigger strikes in clear, sunny conditions.

Pros

  • Hyper-realistic translucent crab profile
  • Weighted body and soft legs create lifelike crawl/flutter
  • Weedless hidden double-hook rig improves hook-up in cover
  • Compact size helps long casts and controlled sink

Cons
