Ragin' Craven is a proven permit fly pattern from Charlie Craven. Originally tied as a permit fly, this pattern drops like a crab but moves like a shrimp, and bonefish love them too.
Designed to imitate crustacean prey, the Ragin' Craven blends a crab-like descent with shrimp-like propulsion to create a lifelike presentation when fished. Its two-action concept targets predatory takes from permit and bonefish, offering a versatile option within a single fly pattern.
