B.E.N.D.™ Mayhem Sideways Crab - Radioactive
Tied to Stay in the Strike Zone.
The Mayhem Sideways Crab is tied on the B.E.N.D.™ Adaptive Platform, engineered to ride high while maintaining a realistic sideways crab profile that fish can't ignore. Unlike the defensive stance, its hook runs across the B.E.N.D.™ stem, creating a distinctive lateral presentation. Whether you're targeting cruising redfish or sight-fishing shallow marshes, its buoyant design creates subtle movement that stays visible and ready for the eat.
RADIOACTIVE SERIES — Featuring vibrant UV-reactive tips on the claws and legs that glow under UV light, giving the Mayhem Sideways Crab an unmistakable appearance.
Tied on SL12S LS #4 hook.

POWERED BY BEND™
A DIFFERENT KIND OF ANIMAL.
BEND was created to rethink how structure can function inside a fly — not for one pattern, but as a platform that can evolve into new forms, new behaviors and entirely new ways to build at the vise.
The Mayhem is one of the first animals to come out of it. It won’t be the last.
