Developed over seven years by legendary guide Chuck Kraft, the Crittermite is widely known for its effectiveness as a hellgrammite imitation. Built to replicate the natural movement, silhouette, and profile of an eastern dobsonfly larva, this fly triggers aggressive strikes from smallmouth bass, trout, and carp alike.
The Crittermite features weighted eyes that flip the hook point-up, allowing the fly to naturally crawl along rocky river bottoms with minimal snags. Its supple tail and active rubber legs deliver unbeatable micro-movement even in slow currents.
-
Realistic Profile: Custom tail section accurately mimics a live hellgrammite.
-
Bottom-Bouncing Action: Dumbbell eyes sink fast and keep the hook riding upward to prevent bottom hang ups.
-
Lifelike Movement: Soft rubber legs and supple body materials kick and flutter with every twitch.
Our guides are always looking for effective flies to add to the line-up and the Crittermite passed the test.
