Joan Simpson –
Used this fly during a flat fishing trip in the Gulf and saw several permit take it. The floating action and chenille legs look very natural. Great detail and works well in sargasso areas.
Sean Mills –
Fished with this crab fly in shallow waters and noticed a significant increase in bites. The foam body stays afloat well and the legs move naturally in the water.
Faith Berry –
Highly recommended for permit fishing. The local tie in Calgary adds a unique touch and the design closely matches real crabs in the Yucatán region.
