Avalon Permit Fly

The Avalon Permit Fly is a revolutionary crustacean imitation originally developed for the legendary Permit flats of Cuba’s Jardines de la Reina. Designed by Mauro Ginevri, this fly changed the game for targeting one of the most elusive saltwater species—Permit—by mimicking mantis shrimp and small crabs with uncanny realism and seductive movement.

This fly’s distinctive feature is its innovative keel-weighting system: a stainless steel bead chain mounted on a wire loop, which ensures the fly rides hook-up, sinks quickly, and balances naturally on the bottom. The result? Maximum strike efficiency with minimal spooking—exactly what’s needed for wary Permit.

Crafted with lifelike rubber legs, layered synthetic fibers, and just the right flash, the Avalon also works exceptionally well for bonefish and triggerfish, making it a versatile go-to on tropical flats worldwide.
