{"product_id":"umpqua-contraband-floating-crab","title":"Umpqua Contraband Floating Crab","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Bahamian dime featuring a bonefish breaching like a tarpon, always intrigued me. I wondered why they would portray bonefish in that manner. Then I thought, \"Wait a minute… do bonefish actually feed on the surface?\" Had I been missing something this whole time?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDespite designing plenty of floating crab patterns for picky permit in Belize and Mexico, the idea of throwing a topwater bug at bonefish had never crossed my mind. One of my recent creations—an evolution of my Contraband Crab—features a Gurgler-style foam lip that skitters across the surface just enough to coax a bite from juvenile permit and tarpon. So, I figured I would tie it up slightly smaller and give it a go on bones.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor most dyed-in-the-wool bonefish junkies, the thought of throwing topwater at tailers is way off the radar. It’s just not something you do… until you do. After watching a bonefish charge down a floating crab firsthand, I can say without hesitation—it’s pure magic! And if you’re bored of tying Gotchas and Charlies, this might be just the creative curveball your fly box needs. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSignature Tyer Drew Chicone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Umpqua","offers":[{"title":"White \/ 2","offer_id":52624553050479,"sku":"H3","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Olive \/ 2","offer_id":52624553083247,"sku":"I3","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tan \/ 2","offer_id":52624553116015,"sku":"J3","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0074\/2178\/8217\/files\/Contraband-Float-WHT__99876.jpg?v=1769782524","url":"https:\/\/tailwatershop.com\/products\/umpqua-contraband-floating-crab","provider":"Tailwater Outfitters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
