Description

Probably one of the best crab patterns ever invented. No matter the situation, this just seems to be the code cracker. We've re-done our Flexo's to be equipped with properly weighted tungsten dumbbells with this variant now dressed on a Gamakatsu SL12.

Field Notes

This is a crab imitation fly designed for saltwater flats and other shallow coastal water where fish are feeding on crustaceans. The tungsten dumbbells help it get down quickly, so it can be presented on a short strip or dead-drifted near bottom structure and grass edges.

Pros

  • Realistic crab profile
  • Weighted with tungsten dumbbells for quick sink and better depth control
  • Effective in a wide range of saltwater situations

Cons

  • Heavier fly can be harder to cast for beginners
  • Best use is specialized to crab-feeding fish
