Description
Developed in the Seychelles, the Alphlexo was designed to be delivered without slapping down like conventional crab bodies. The mesh material allows for a quick descent, while keeping a very realistic shape of a crab’s carapace. It also features orange innards to imitate a spawning crab. This fly was designed to target Permit, triggerfish, and large Bonefish.
The fly was the brainchild of Seychelles Program Director Alec Gerbec and his fellow guides on Alphonse. A killer pattern for permit everywhere, the Alphlexo is one of our Top Permit Flies for Regions Around the World.
