Named not for the time-traveling teenager but for the fact that this crab flies through the air better than any crustacean has a right to. The foam body gives it a slow, tantalizing sink rate that allows tailing redfish to track it down like a detective following a lead. It rides hook-up, which means the oyster bars that would destroy other flies merely scratch its dignity.
