                                  A popular variation of the legendary Merkin Crab. The Bastard Crab substitutes EP fibers for the yarn of the original Merkin. Marabou and rubber legs provide movement even when the fly is stationary, which can be the difference maker when targeting picky permit on the flats. Features a mono weed guard and tied on the trustworthy Gamakatsu SL12s. A must have for any angler taking a trip to the flats. Available in light and dark variation to match the bottom of your favorite flat.
