Product information "Umpqua Saltwater Fly Strong Arm Merkin Skok Olive #6"

The Umpqua Saltwater Fly Strong Arm Merkin is a modern crab pattern for demanding saltwater fishing for bonefish, permit and other predators on the flats. Designed for clear, shallow waters, this fly combines a realistic silhouette with thoughtful weight distribution for maximum effectiveness.

The strong-arm design shifts the weight so that the fly runs with the hook point upwards. This significantly reduces snags in turtle grass or on corals without compromising the natural appearance. The classic Merkin thorax in combination with flexible rubber legs ensures a lifelike stand-up position on the bottom, which even convinces cautious fish in shallow water. The carefully balanced weighting allows the fly to sink quickly but land softly - ideal for precise presentations to shy, tailing fish. The Strong Arm Merkin Skok is an excellent choice for destinations such as the Caribbean, Mexico, the Seychelles and other tropical flats where crabs are a key food source.
