Avalon Permit Fly

The Avalon Permit Fly is a cutting-edge, delta-winged shrimp/crab pattern originally developed by Mauro Ginevri in Cuba and now hailed as one of the most effective and innovative permit flies available. The Avalon is not just a pattern—it’s a scientifically designed, field-proven fly that delivers results. If you're targeting permit, or any bottom-feeding flats predator, the Avalon crab imitation should be your go-to choice. It combines excellent sinking behavior, realistic presentation, and subtle sensory triggers like sound and motion. This truly is a “must-have” in any serious flats angler’s box.

• Delta-wing design for lifelike motion — Tied using zonker or rabbit strip wings, it maintains a realistic profile and maximum movement underwater
  

• Weighted keel ensures proper hook orientation — A monofilament keel lined with brass or stainless beads lets the fly sink fast and always ride hook-point-up, mimicking bottom-feeding shrimp or crab and minimizing snags
  

• Audible rattling action — The loose beads subtly click as you retrieve it, potentially imitating crustacean sounds that attract curious predators.

• Versatile species appeal — While designed for permit, it's also effective on bonefish, tarpon, snapper, snook, and other flats species.
