Carol Wilson –
Used this crab during a trip to Belize and saw multiple permit bites. The natural coral pattern helped it stay on the bottom and attracted fish effectively. Great for flat fishing.
Piers Tucker –
Felt the crab held well on the bottom and worked well in low visibility. Fish were more active when using it. Slightly heavier than expected but worth it.
Benjamin Sanderson –
Perfect for bonefish fishing on flats. The design matches the natural environment and keeps fish interested. Highly recommended for Belize flats.
