The EP Mole Crab was developed by Enrico Puglisi for big Bonefish, Redfish & Permit. It can be tied in many colors, but the best colors are Tan & Sand. The Mole Crab imitates a small round crab called….you guessed it….a Mole Crab. It doesn’t really look like a crab. It actually looks more like a sand flea or a “sand crab”. These crabs burrow and scurry about in sandy areas near shallow water. They are a favorite forage for big Redfish & Bonefish cruising in the surf!!
