The Dime Piece Crab is a deadly and versatile saltwater fly built to fool even the wariest flats fish. Tied on a Mustad Size 2 Curved Streamer Hook, it combines durability, balance, and lifelike appeal. A barred marabou tail delivers subtle movement, while realistic sili legs kick naturally in the current. Its handmade felt shell, finished with colored epoxy and fine sparkles, mimics the natural sheen of a crab’s carapace for irresistible flash. A centered micro lead weight ensures the ideal sink rate—quick to drop into the strike zone but soft enough on landing to avoid spooking fish in shallow water. An optional weed guard makes this pattern ideal for fishing through grass, oysters, or other structure without snagging.
