The Flexo Crab is one of the most trusted and effective saltwater crab flies for flats fishing. Built on a Mustad Size 1 Curved Streamer Hook with a weed guard, this pattern delivers strength, snag protection, and lifelike presentation. Its signature flexo body mimics the shape and translucency of a real crab, while chenille legs and claws kick with natural movement. A perfectly balanced x-small lead eye gives this fly the right sink rate for shallow water and flats conditions, whether you’re on sand, grass, or mixed bottoms.
