Description
Some crab flies rely on heavy dumbbell eyes to reach the bottom. The Crusher Crab takes a different approach.
Hand tied by Casey Smith of FlySmith Flies, the Crusher Crab is built around the FINATICS Cajun Blue Crab 3D Body and balanced with tungsten putty on the underside instead of bulky lead eyes. The result is a realistic sink rate, a quieter presentation, and a hook-point-up attitude that allows the fly to settle naturally on the bottom where predators expect to find a fleeing crab.
At the center of the pattern is the FINATICS Cajun Blue Crab 3D Body, delivering an incredibly realistic blue crab profile with durable foam construction and lifelike detail. Combined with premium materials and expert craftsmanship, the Crusher Crab offers exceptional realism without sacrificing durability.
Tied on a premium #4 saltwater hook, this fly excels when sight fishing shallow marshes, oyster bars, turtle grass, and coastal flats where redfish, permit, and other crustacean-feeding fish become highly selective.
Finished in a natural olive color, the Crusher Crab is designed to imitate one of the most important forage species found throughout Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coast estuaries.
Every Crusher Crab is hand tied by Casey Smith of FlySmith Flies using premium FINATICS components.
