Description

The Redfish Sinking Sargassum Crab from Ocean Flies is a hyper-realistic bottom crab imitation built for shallow-water redfish and other crustacean-eating species. Crafted using a FlatsCraft Sargassum crab body, the fly delivers a natural, segmented profile with lifelike texture and subtle movement — exactly what pressured fish look for when feeding on small crabs.

Bead-chain eyes give the fly a controlled, quiet sink that lands softly and settles upright. The articulated legs and claws provide just enough micro-movement to seal the deal on fish that have seen every generic crab pattern out there. Perfect for clean flats, grass edges, bayous, and oyster-laden shorelines, this fly gets down, stays down, and looks alive without overworking it.


How to Fish It

Sight-cast: Lead fish by one to two feet, let the fly sink, then give a tiny bump to signal life.
Dead-stick: Ideal for sheepshead and drum — let it sit motionless on the bottom; most eats happen on the pause.
Slow Crawl: Short, subtle strips imitate a crab trying to dig or flee, perfect for redfish cruising shallow flats.
Drop Presentation: In deeper potholes, allow it to fall naturally; the bead-chain balance gives it a realistic descent.


Target Species

• Redfish
• Sheepshead
• Black Drum
• Snook
