Bauer’s Flats Crab Fly
Born from the legendary Will Bauer’s decades of flats experience, the Bauer Crab is a tried-and-true permit fly—also proven effective for bonefish, striped bass, and other bottom-feeders. Trusted in Belize, Mexico, the Keys, and beyond, it delivers reliability season after season. The Bauer’s Crab Fly is a foundational crab pattern—simple yet highly effective. With a realistic crab silhouette, stable sink-rate, and subtle leg movement, it consistently entices permit and other flats species. Whether you're sight-casting off the cayes of Belize or stalking striped bass in New England, this fly is a trusted, proven choice.
-
Authentic silhouette & sinking ability: Designed with a wide, defensive crab profile and weighted eyes, it plummets to the bottom quickly and settles with proper orientation—ideal for permit feeding zones
-
Durable rubber legs: Square-profile rubber legs remain upright and tangle-resistant, adding subtle motion that triggers curious strikes
-
Eyes & body weight: Built-in lead or dumbbell eyes sink the fly fast and keep it stable—no flipping or spinning when it hits the flats
-
Subtle attractor flash: Some variants include underbelly glitter or mottled colors to draw the attention of finicky fish
