The Contraband Crab

The Confluence of three legendary permit flies Chicone says the Contraband is the confluence of the Bauer Crab, the Scotch-Brite Crab, and the McFly Crab which are three of his all-time favorite permit flies. Although the permit is always a fickle species to target Chicone figured if he could conquer getting Sheephead to consistently eat this crab then he really had something. After several years of tweaking Chicone felt like he had cracked the code with this one.
