Description

Our in house designed crab legs we call the Mutineer !! The fleeing crab design enables you, the angler to strip your crab fly in a natural fashion when you need too. The large prominent realistic claw trailing the fly is a huge trigger point for fish to identify this prey item as a crab, which arguably will reduce hesitation and a faster reaction bite. The design enhances what we already know abut how this style of legs travel through the air and the water... Landing hook point up and a fly that cuts through the wind is no problem for the Mutineer design. The Mutineer has a tying tab which enables easy lashing to the hook shank... important for fish like permit which will make short work of materials simply glued on or that are held on with carapace materials. This design is exclusive to Flats Craft. Designed and manufactured here at Flats Craft. The Mutineer lends itself to surface, slow sinking and floating presentations. The materials is flexible and your thread will not cut it. The material also accepts marker pens, glue (E6000) and high quality resin (RaidZap) really well. Adaptable to many carapaces, such as the Gavs Crab platform.
