Oliver MacDonald –
Used the Mangrove Crab Calico during a trip to a coastal reef. The fly stayed intact after multiple strikes and looked very natural. Caught a trevally within minutes of casting. Highly effective in real saltwater conditions.
Joe Howard –
Fished in a mangrove area with mixed results. The crab pattern worked well in the early morning when the water was calm. One permit took it, but the fly showed signs of wear after a hard pull. Still worth the try.
Christian Rutherford –
Perfect for flats fishing. The calico pattern stands out in the water and draws fish quickly. I’ve used it twice now and both times got aggressive strikes. Durable and looks authentic.
