If you looking for one fly to catch a slam this is a pretty good choice.
This Grand Slam Crab is the perfect fly to have tied on when your on a flat that you expect to see the big 3 (Bonefish, Tarpon, Permit)
When your polling down a flat whether it be in the florida keys, Flamingo, Everglades this little crab will catch absolutely everything from redfish, snook, Sheepshead, permit, bonefish. The center weighted keeled bottom of this fly plays a very important role in making the fly fall flat and flutter down down the fish especially for permit. The subtle amount of flash will entice any gamefish without making them feel uncomfortable and the splay hackle are to represent claws.

Hi Ray!
Yes, they do! The free motion of the beads is to make sure the crab falls evenly 100% of the time.
