BUY MATERIALS ONLINE: charliesflybox...
The EP Crab is one of the best crab imitations for Permit, Bonefish and Redfish. The EP Crab is the updated version to the classic Merkin's Crab. The EP Crab uses the durable EP Fibers for the body and has more life like legs and tail. The EP Crab can be tied in so many variations, colors and sizes. Most of the EP Crabs have the color Tan incorporated into them, but other colors can be used to tie Blue Crab and Sand Crab imitations. In this video, we will tie the EP with a Crustaceous Brush. This is a fast and efficient way to tie EP Crabs. The EP Crab is a must have in the salt, so get to work!!!

Awesome video thanks for sharing

[@marios9972]

Thanks for another great tutorial with step by step instruction. The only draw back was that the camera was focused on the vise, so much of the trimming when the fly was not in the vise we missed. Have you considered redoing this video so we might see the critical trimming of this crab fly, thanks.

Outstanding how to video once again. If I had to make one request for future videos it would be to pan out a bit while trimming the flies. The camera is very close and the fly is out of view while you are trimming the fly. Once again thank you for all the how to videos!
