ABC SEMPERFLI Crab Shells

Realistic crabs, without the headache:

Combined with the ABC SEMPERFLI Crab Bodies (ref 39288), these cleverly designed synthetic components have revolutionized crab tying, bringing an unprecedented level of realism and effectiveness.
Laser-cut from 2 mm EVA foam, these shells perfectly reproduce the silhouette of a crab. Their flexibility and fineness imitate the natural movement of the animal, giving your flies an irresistible look in the water. They can be colored very easily with permanent markers to match the crab species you wish to imitate.

Thanks to their lightness, these shells allow a gentle presentation on the water, limiting splashing and increasing the chances of a take. The EVA foam perfectly retains its shape while providing pleasant buoyancy, keeping the fly longer in the strike zone.
These shells are a neutral base to customize. With a few permanent markers, you can reproduce all crab colors, from the mottled browns of mangrove crabs to the orange tones of small sand crabs. Enough to fool even the most wary fish.
Whether you are an experienced tier or a motivated beginner, the ABC Crab Shells offer total freedom to create effective and highly realistic saltwater crab imitations.
