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\u003c\/article\u003e","brand":"Umpqua","offers":[{"title":"1\/0","offer_id":45432082333895,"sku":"60527","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2","offer_id":45432082366663,"sku":"60528","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0491\/9984\/1445\/files\/8461294272711__contraband-floating-crab-tan_v2_dccedd9f-dc55-463c-891c-b535dcc89196.jpg?v=1778647750","url":"https:\/\/www.flyfishfood.com\/products\/contraband-floating-crab-tan","provider":"Fly Fish Food","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
