Alphlexo Crab™ by Flymen Fishing Company
Originally designed for fly fishing in The Seychelles, the Alphlexo Crab has become a must-have fly for targeting saltwater species such as bonefish and permit worldwide.
These are genuine Alphlexo Crabs produced in South Africa for lodge operations in The Seychelles. The unique body design is achieved through hand-tying using proprietary materials.
Tungsten and bead chain weights provide adjustable sink rates for different fishing conditions. A light version sinks slowly and is quieter when hitting shallow water, making it ideal for flat fishing. A heavier version sinks faster and is better suited for deeper water, such as when targeting redfish.

Jennifer Sutherland –
Used the Alphlexo Crab on a bonefish trip in the Caribbean. The fly sank quietly and stayed natural in shallow water. The weight options made a big difference depending on depth. Highly recommended for flat fishing.
Ava Gill –
Fished with a heavy version in deeper water and it got down quickly. The body design looked realistic and attracted fish. A bit expensive but worth it for the performance.
Dan Morgan –
Perfect for shallow flats. The light version didn’t make noise when hitting the water, which helped catch more fish. The quality feels durable and the materials are well tied.
