The Ketta Crab is a collaboration between Flats Craft and Al Simson of Kettafly. The great thing about this design, is that Al is an experienced fisherman who doesn't test his flies in test tank, he puts them in front of fish. Al is a Fisherman, Artist, Apparel company, commercial fly tier and guide... that's a great pedigree in a fly designer.
The Ketta Crab is a fantastic imitation of a Sargassum Crab, or is just as at home as a ghost crab, Fiddler Crab or Mangrove Crab . The Ketta Crab is designed to sit both forward and sideways on the hook without the legs getting the way of the leader.
It's advised that stripping this crab is not done at fast speeds, a slow draw is fine, a static presentation is better. This fly is really well suited as a floating crab, or slow sinking/ suspending pattern.
