This is a pattern created by Josh Thelin which combines some traditional ideas from Lefty's Deceiver but also incorporates a hollow tie and the inclusion of EP synthetic fibers to give the fly better movement and profile.

There is no question that striped bass love crabs. It is an easy and protein packed meal that is also a viable food source. Crabs are easy picking for bass. Here in Maine we have a lot of (invasive) green crabs which the stripers love to forage on. This is a pattern that I developed which is essentially a combination of Del Brown's "Merkin" and Enrico Puglisi's "EP Crab."
