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.
