When the fish are keyed in on crayfish, give them a meal they can't refuse. Designed by Al Ritt, Ritt's Fighting Crawfish is a lifelike crayfish imitation built to trigger aggressive strikes from bass, carp and other predatory fish. Its' defining feature is a pair of buoyant foam claws that rise into a defensive posture when the fly settles on the bottom, mimicking the natural behavior of a threatened crawfish.
Designed to fish around rocky structure, river bottoms, and other crayfish-rich habitat, the Fighting Crawfish excels when fished slowly with short strips and deliberate pauses. Its articulated-looking appendages and natural profile provide enticing movement throughout the retrieve, while its hook-up orientation helps keep the fly fishing effectively around bottom structure.
Whether you're targeting river smallmouth, largemouth bass, or other predators feeding on crayfish, the Ritt's Fighting Crawfish is a proven addition to any serious bass fly box. Tie one on, get it down, and let those claws do the talking.
