Del Brown's Merkin - Permit Crab / Del's Merkin
Del Brown has had the singular reputation of having landed more permit
on fly than any other angler ever recorded. The Del's Permit Crab (Merkin) was designed by Del Brown,
and it is the single most popular style of permit fly available. This is also a very important
bonefish fly, as well as a useful fly for flats-fishing for striped bass. A lightweight version tied
with bead chain eyes is now available for super-spooky fish or shallow water situations - we also
have some alternates available tied by Rainy's Flies - these are very nice, and the
Rainy's Merkins feature weedguards.

Rainy's Yarn Crabs - Merkin - Permit Crabs
Rainy's "Yarn Crab" is a Merkin in a solid tan color pattern - the "Natural" is a cream color.
Rainy's Merkins are Permit Crabs tied in alternate styles / colors... these are some of the best tied crabs available in our opinion. The Chartreuse/Tan Merkin is shown at the bottom of this page; click here
for another view. The Tan/Brown Rainy's Merkin is the same color
pattern as the fly shown above.
All of the Rainy's crabs listed here feature double monofilament weedguards.
