Description
Split Crab – by FlySmith Flies
The Ultimate Deer Hair Crab Fly. Precision-Tied. Permit-Approved.
When only the best will do, you tie on the Split Crab.
Handcrafted by FlySmith Flies, the Split Crab is a meticulously designed, tournament-grade fly that blends the classic profile of deer hair with a highly realistic soft claw and leg system. What truly sets it apart is the centered tungsten paste weight, delivering an ultra-stable, level sink rate that keeps your fly tracking naturally — even in current, wind, or awkward casts.
If you’re targeting picky permit, smart sheepshead, or ultra-pressured redfish, this fly doesn’t just give you a chance — it gives you the edge.
Key Features:
Premium deer hair construction for maximum buoyancy, realism, and profile
Tungsten paste belly for balanced, horizontal sink
Lifelike claws and legs that move naturally in current
Durable build, designed for multiple eats
Available in two proven colors: Tan and Olive
