Hover Crab - Olive - floating crab SKU:
This realistic little crab is durable and casts easy...even with a 4 weight. This is one of the new trends in fishing crab flies. They sell them on the Orvis web site under the name Simons Hovercrab.
I've had a number of requests to make one up. The Idea is to weight down a floating crab so that it stays out of the weeds and more visible to the fish. (suspends in the feeding zone)
This one floats like a cork, and can be fished as a surface feeding crab. The way to fish it as a hover crab is to attach a 1/100 ounce soft shot on your tippet at the desired distance from the bottom.... so it goes down slow, then hovers over the weeds. Waiting for that hungry Redfish or Bonefish to grab it. They can also be fished with a sink tip and a short leader.
Pro tied on Japanese chemically sharpened Dai-Riki 930 saltwater hooks.
