Umpqua's Contraband Crab- Olive

The Contraband Crab, created by Drew Chicone, is a highly effective fly for permit and bonefish, featuring an innovative design inspired by the texture of a Brillo pad. This approach results in a resilient, mottled body that convincingly replicates a crab’s natural shell while withstanding the harsh conditions of saltwater fishing. True to Chicone’s style, the Contraband Crab expertly combines toughness with lifelike appearance, making it a dependable choice for cautious permit and a convincing smaller crab imitation to attract larger bonefish.
