The Low Tide Bruiser is a specialized crab imitation built to fool shallow-water redfish and other crab-eating species when the tide drops. Designed for sight-fishing in marshes, tidal creeks, and skinny flats, this fly combines a natural silhouette with lifelike movement to trigger aggressive strikes. Its durable design, balanced sink rate, and weedguard make it ideal for working tight structure and grass during low-tide feeding windows.
