Product information "Umpqua Saltwater Fly Rag Head Crab Tan"

Umpqua streamers offer maximum reliability. From small prey fish imitations to large, moving patterns. Tied with high-quality materials, they attract even wary or deep-lying predators.

The Rag Head Crab is one of the first patterns to consistently develop the classic Merkin design. Developed on the flats of the Yucatán Peninsula for targeted permit fishing, it impresses with a realistic silhouette, controlled sinking behaviour and a natural presentation on the bottom. In smaller sizes, the pattern has also proven to be extremely effective on bonefish, and the fly is designed to fish quietly and inconspicuously - just like real crabs move in shallow water. Its well-balanced design ensures that it lands cleanly, runs stably and does not spook even cautious fish. Although it was originally developed for Mexico, this pattern is by no means limited to this area. Whether Belize or other flats around the world - this crab imitation can make the difference wherever permit and bonefish are targeting crabs. A versatile, proven pattern for any saltwater angler.
