Description
The Armed Critter is the result of several failed attempts at making a soft-landing redfish fly imitating a crab for the very skittish redfish of Tampa Bay. In the end, a miniaturized strong arm Merkin claw with a more slender body proved highly effective. This same fly makes an excellent bonefish and permit fly too.
