The Alphlexo Crab is one of the premier saltwater fly lures used primarily for targeting bonefish and permit. It was originally designed for fly fishing Indo-Pacific permit on the flats of the outer Seychelles islands of the Somali Sea, but is now used for flats fishing worldwide.

A Bigger Fly with Less Materials

The Alphlexo Crab has a unique body design and texture achieved by incorporating body tubing. Body tubing creates the illusion of bulk, while maintaining a lightweight fly that is easy to cast. Achieving bulk without weight also allows the Alphlexo to disperse more water and attract more fish.

Durability and Longevity

The body tubing used to tie the Alphlexo Crab fly provides the added benefit of superior durability. The tubing protects the delicate thread wraps from the teeth of fish promoting both durability and longevity. Body tubing can also be adjusted after extended use to revitalize fly appearance.

Target Species

The Alphlexo Crab fly is traditionally used for targeting permit and bonefish in saltwater flats worldwide. However, it is also commonly used for fishing emperors, triggerfish, bluefin trevally, redfish, sheepshead and just about every flats species out there that feeds on crabs.
