Gapen Mr. Crab Fly - Saltwater Crab Imitation

The Gapen Mr. Crab is a crab-imitation fly built for flats and inshore fishing. Predators that key on crabs — bonefish, redfish, permit, and others — respond to the profile and the hop-and-pause movement.

Size: #1

Cast it ahead of tailing or cruising fish, let it settle, then strip it in short hops. Many strikes come when the fly sits still after a hop, just like a real crab trying to hide.
