Gapen Dad’s Hermit Crab Fly - Saltwater Hermit Crab Imitation

Gapen’s Dad’s Hermit Crab is a hermit crab imitation built for flats and inshore fishing. Predators that key on crabs — bonefish, redfish, permit, and others — respond to the profile and the short hop-and-pause movement along the bottom.

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.
