This crab is not completely new, that is obvious, being similar to the Rag Head style in thread color and body style. But Barry and Cathy have spent hours and hours casting to bones and permit in choice flats throughout the tropics.
So this version has had some changes made: longer Silli Legs tipped with bright orange (that will get some attention) and lots of marabou in two contrasting colors for extra motion.
This fly has been a success wherever it’s been fished. Subtle changes, great results. It has been proven effective for several years from Mexico to the Bahamas to Los Roques.
