Used this fly on a tarpon fishing trip in the Gulf. The big eyes and predator legs made it stand out in the water. Fish took it right away, even in heavy surface conditions. Great detail and realistic movement.
Connor Russell –
Felt like a natural crab when floating. The heavy hook held up well during a long cast. Works well in sargasso-like areas. A bit pricey but worth it for the realism.

Caught a large tarpon using this fly during a morning flat fishing session. The wiggle from the predator legs was noticeable and attracted fish effectively. Highly recommend for surface predators.
