  • Designed to imitate crabs, a key food source for many fish
  • Ideal for fishing in moving water where quick descent is crucial

Sofia ★★★★★

Cast this above a deep run and it was down in the strike zone almost immediately, way better than the weighted flies I've been tying. The dumbbell eyes give it a nice rocking action in the current too.

Charlotte ★★★★★

The tungsten eyes make all the difference—this crab drops straight through the strike zone the moment it hits the water, no counting down needed. Got a solid take on the third cast once it settled near the bottom.

Thomas ★★★★★

Tied one of these on during a heavy current day and it was down in the strike zone almost immediately, the tungsten dumbbell eyes make all the difference. Watched it tumble along the bottom just like a real crab, and the hookup came fast. Solid build too, feels like it’ll last more than a few trips.
