SCI FLIES SALTWATER CRUSTACEANS CHARLIES

SCI FLIES SALTWATER CRUSTACEANS – CHARLIES

The Sci Flies Saltwater Crustaceans – Charlies is a versatile collection of premium saltwater flies designed for anglers targeting predators that feed on shrimp, prawns and other small crustaceans across shallow flats and estuary environments.

The selection combines proven Crazy Charlie and Bright Eye Charlie variations with additional crustacean patterns, giving anglers a range of colours and profiles for changing water clarity, light conditions and bottom structure.

Each fly is tied on premium Grip saltwater hooks, providing a strong and corrosion-resistant platform suited to saltwater fly fishing. The assortment includes both subtle, natural presentations and brighter attractor patterns, allowing anglers to adapt their fly choice to the conditions.

Fly Patterns Included

Crazy Charlie – White
A classic saltwater crustacean imitation with a light, translucent appearance and bead-chain eyes. The white colour provides a natural presentation over clean sand and light-coloured bottoms.

Crazy Charlie – Tan
A subtle, natural-toned variation designed to blend with sandy and pale estuary substrates. An excellent choice when fish are feeding cautiously in clear water.

Crazy Charlie – Olive
A darker variation that provides additional contrast around weed beds, vegetation and darker bottom structure. Useful when a more subdued crustacean profile is required.

Crazy Charlie – Pink
A highly visible colour option suited to situations where pink-toned shrimp or prawns are present or when additional colour contrast is beneficial.

Bright Eye Charlie – Tan
Combines a natural tan body with contrasting bright eyes, providing a realistic crustacean profile with an additional visual attraction point.

Bright Eye Charlie – White
A bright, highly visible variation that combines the proven Charlie profile with increased contrast and flash, making it a useful option across sandy flats.

Bright Eye Charlie – Olive
Pairs a darker olive body with contrasting eyes to create a strong silhouette around vegetation, darker substrates and lightly stained water.

Pillow Talk
A sparse and streamlined saltwater pattern designed for subtle presentations. Its minimal profile makes it particularly useful when fish are feeding selectively in shallow, clear water.

Fleeing Crab / Spawning Shrimp
A heavier crustacean-style pattern designed for bottom-oriented presentations. The weighted construction helps the fly reach the lower part of the water column and imitate fleeing or disturbed crustaceans.
