This pattern seems to be one of the best designed crab flies we've ever seen. Impressionistic, durable, powerhouse pattern. A favorite here with the staff and certainly with the fish!

The Alphonse Flexo is tied on a size 2 hook and has the chenille barred legs. THis fly will work anywhere in the world where triggers are the target. The picky triggers of Alphonse, Seychelles and those at Kiritimati, Kiribati (Christmas Island) need a crab pattern that is proven to work.

Over our ten years of hosting trips to CXI - we spend 4-5 weeks there each year with 16 people each week, we have had the opportunity to test out all of the types of flexo crabs on the market. The Fulling Mill flexo crabs of all sizes and colors have been the #1 pattern for fooling picky triggers. We suggest that you take a variety of colors and sizes. Big heavy crabs do not do well on calm days or on days when the tide is low and the water is skinny. Best to have standard, micro, and trigger flexos.
