Bandit Crab
The Bandit Crab is the ultimate crossover between shrimp and crab, making it one of the most versatile and irresistible patterns for flats fishing. Built tough and tied for lifelike movement, this fly excels in creeks, marshes, and open flats where redfish and snook feed aggressively on crustaceans. A durable blend of materials creates a natural profile, while its weight and design allow for a perfect sink rate and quiet presentation.

A true flats favorite — the Bandit Crab is built to steal strikes wherever fish feed on crustaceans.
