Superflies Saltwater Fly Strong Arm Merkin Crab

The high-quality saltwater flies by Superflies comprise a range of carefully curated designs. A mixture of absolute classics, variations and original creations that have proven themselves on countless saltwater trips and adorn the fly boxes of experienced guides from Mexico to the Maldives. They are characterised by their high-quality materials, which are neatly proportioned and tied on super-sharp quality hooks. The quality of the hooks plays a particularly important role in saltwater and Superflies has spared no expense or effort to deliver the best quality.

The original Merkin Crab was designed by Del Brown, a Permit legend and an absolute fanatic when it comes to this fish species. The Strong Arm Merkin by Superflies is a variation that may no longer be directly related to the original, but in terms of effectiveness, it is just as good. This imitation of a fleeing crab with the characteristic moving arm is very popular with Permits (and by the way, also with Bonefish). The Strong Arm Merkin Crab Fly is one of the most important Permit patterns in the entire Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. It has a permanent place in our saltwater fly box. Tied on a high-quality, strong Gamakatsu SL11-3H saltwater hook.
