Raghead Crab

Available Sizes#2 - #1/0
Color Variations
TanOliveBrown/Orange
The Raghead Crab looks like something a cat dragged through a craft store, and that is precisely why it works. Rag yarn, rubber legs, and lead eyes combine into a pattern so perfectly imperfect that it triggers the feeding response of every bottom-feeder in the Gulf. It is proof that in fly fishing, as in cooking, rustic presentation often outperforms fine dining.
