Description

The Avalon Permit fly is a shrimp imitation that sinks quickly, stays hook side up (helps eliminate snags), and makes clicking noises similar to a shrimp. Great for Cuban destinations because the Permit key in on shrimp rather than crabs. Don't limit this fly to Cuba, though. It has proven to be effective for permit nearly everywhere!

This fly is tied on a Gama SL-11 3H. The Gamakatsu SL-11 3H is one of the strongest and sharpest hooks available, and worth every penny when you hook-up with a fish of a lifetime!

Additionally, new production also includes a weed guard, which can easily be trimmed off if it is not necessary.

This Fly is also Available in Calico and in Blue.

Description

There's some debate surrounding the origins of this fly. Most seem to agree that Richard Whitner was involved in the early development of crab patterns using flex material. What isn't up for debate is that this crab pattern is a go-to fish slayer. The mesh flex material and internal dumbell eyes result in a fly that sinks rapidly and can be put right in front of feeding fish. Try it in blue, tan, camo, and olive.
