The Wide Body Spoon Fly is designed to be stripped slowly, then allowed to drop. The fly will pull back from the fly fisherman while it drops, maintaining slight tension and wobbling downwards in the most enticing manner. Takes are seldom subtle!

This shape most commonly imitates a crab or frog.

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.

Dave Skok's Strong Arm Merkin has become one of the most important Permit flies, winning or placing in many Florida Keys Tournaments.  Jan Isley's Raghead Crab has been a go-to since the 80s.  Nick Denbow's vision of these two flies mashed together is what we're calling the Mayan Claw.  "Give 'em the claw...the claw...you know, the claw?"

Fished in the surf or on the flats, this fly has been tested and produced in all situations.  

Tied on a TMC 811S.
