Umpqua Rag Head Crab 2.0 Fly

The Umpqua Rag Head Crab 2.0 Fly is a proven saltwater crab imitation built for sight-fishing on the flats. It presents a compact, convincing crab profile that gets down to where fish feed and stays in the zone as you crawl it along the bottom. It’s a dependable choice for fooling selective fish that key on small crustaceans.

Purpose-built for permit and bonefish, this fly combines a realistic silhouette with subtle, lifelike movement. Its balanced weighting helps it reach the bottom with control, making precise presentations to tailing fish and quick second shots possible when conditions change.

Key Features

• Realistic crab imitation tailored for sight-fishing permit and bonefish on the flats
• Weighted to reach the bottom quickly and track naturally along sand, marl, or grass
• Tied on a corrosion-resistant, saltwater-grade hook for secure hook-ups and longevity
• Durable synthetic materials that maintain a crabby profile after repeated casts and fish
• Versatile enough to fish effectively in clear or slightly off-color water

Why We Like It

It checks the boxes that matter on the flats: a believable crab shape, the right sink rate, and a build that holds up to tough fish and abrasive terrain. The Rag Head Crab 2.0 gives you confidence to present close to feeding fish, let it settle, and make short, controlled strips that trigger eats.

We also like how adaptable it is. Whether you’re targeting wary permit on hard-bottom flats or bonefish rooting in turtle grass, it stays in contact with the bottom and remains easy to track, helping you keep the fly in the strike zone longer.
