Palmetto Crab

The Palmetto Crab is a compact, realistic saltwater fly designed for stalking tailing redfish, sheepshead, and bonefish on shallow flats. Built on a size 4 Gamakatsu crab hook, this fly mimics a small, natural crab with lifelike movement and flash. Its epoxy belly with black flake, rubber legs, and Space Coast Flies Crab Shell create the perfect blend of subtle glimmer and durability. Whether you're poling the Lowcountry marsh or hunting the flats of the Gulf, this dime-sized pattern lands soft and swims true—right in the strike zone.

Recommended Use

• Target tailing redfish on shallow grass, sand or mud flats

• Perfect for sheepshead, bonefish, and permit in clear, calm water

• Fish slow and steady across sand or shell bottom for the most natural presentation

• Pair with an 8wt or 7wt setup and floating line for precision sight-casting
