Chip Shot Crab

The Chip Shot Crab is a hand-tied saltwater crab pattern from Connor at Delta Fly Works. Tied on the Umpqua XS506H in #2 — heavier and wider than the Conn-Man — with painted lead eyes and rubber legs that kick on every strip. Sinks fast and level, hook rides point-up. Three colors: Rust — brown-orange over natural, with orange rubber legs. The classic redfish and drum color for grass flats and marsh. Pale Olive — soft chartreuse-olive with olive marabou. Dirty-water and tannic-water color where you need a bit of glow. Purple — deep purple over black with purple rubber legs. Low-light, overcast, and dawn-to-dusk redfish killer. Fish it slow with short strips and long pauses. The rubber legs do the work. Redfish, black drum, sheepshead, permit, and bonefish all eat it. Hook: Umpqua XS506H #2 Weight: Painted lead eyes (fast, level sink) Features: Rubber legs, hook rides point-up Target species: Redfish, permit, black drum, sheepshead, bonefish Tyer: Connor at Delta Fly Works Limited hand-tied inventory — 6 of each color at a time.
