Ray’s Floating Flexo Tarpon Crab Fly
Ray’s Floating Flexo Tarpon Crab Fly is tied on a heavy duty hook for bigger fish species like tarpon or even triggerfish. These floating crabs are made to imitate the crab population in the Yucatán that cling to the sargasso and are targeted by flats species on the surface. This variant is tied with predator legs, adding a super amount of wiggle to the profile.

FAQ
What makes the predator legs different from standard crab flies?
The predator legs add extra movement and a more natural wiggle, mimicking how real crabs move in the water, which can attract tarpon and triggerfish more effectively.
Is this fly suitable for use in sargasso or similar environments?
Yes, it is specifically designed to imitate crabs found in sargasso areas of the Yucatán, making it ideal for use in similar surface environments.
Can this fly be used for other species besides tarpon and triggerfish?
While primarily designed for tarpon and triggerfish, its floating profile and movement may appeal to other surface-feeding species in similar habitats.

Used this fly on a flat near the sargasso patch and caught a large tarpon. The predator legs gave it a great wobble that stood out in the surface action. Solid quality and well tied.
Sarah Langdon –
Felt like a real crab when it moved in the water. Worked well in early morning conditions. The heavy hook holds up well during strong surface runs.
Wanda Hudson –
Great detail in the design. The wobble from the predator legs made it noticeable to fish. Tied locally in Calgary, which adds to the authenticity and trust in the product.

Used it during a flat fishing trip in the Gulf. Caught a triggerfish with it. The fly stayed afloat and didn’t sink quickly, which is exactly what I wanted.
