The micro crab is perfect for bonefish or very spooky permit as the ones on Turneffe atoll can be. In general you should use a tan crab when fishing over sand and a green one when fishing over grass. I would have a few of each tied up for different scenarios. The small body creates a perfect profile and doesn’t spook fish while the claws crate lifelike movement because of the limp silky fibers.
Cast near tailing or cruising fish. Use a very gentle presentation and a tight line cast. Let the fly sink to the bottom before stripping. Once on bottom when the fish are close give it a couple of short quick strips with pauses. This grabs the fish’s attention as it looks like a fleeing crab. This is when they are likely to turn on your fly. A quick strip set and the fight is on.
