Flexo Crabs x 2 packs

Flexo crabs (often called the Alphlexo Crab) are the 'go to' fly for permit, bream, bonefish, triggerfish, bluefin trevally and even bump head parrotfish. Crabs are almost impossible to imitate with any real degree of subtlety, but this fly uses a left-field approach. Throw it into the salty water and you'll see what we mean – the fly is almost perfectly camouflaged, as the seabed shows right through it. Permit and other tough cookies like big, spooky bonefish, blue bastards and bluefin trevally fall regularly for this fly because they lose sight of it and then, when they do see it, they fear that it will disappear again, and rush into eating it. They are deadly. 

Originally developed by flats fishing guides at the Alphonse Fishing Company in the Seychelles, it was created specifically to fool notoriously selective and easily spooked flats species.

We offer them in a variety of sizes and colours - and most importantly different weights. Permit fishers like heavy and the 2.61 gram 1/0 are the favourites at Weipa. They get to the bottom quickly, but are difficult to cast - a 9wt or more is good with a heavy fly line head. Bream like light and small though, so different crabs for different fish and locations.

Change the Colour: Many anglers carry a pack of permanent markers with them and bling up these crabs. Sometimes a different colour will make a difference.

All crabs are in 2 packs.
