pretty cool stuff... how long does a tie like that take you?
Let us hope that the bass do not find the equivalent of the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

pretty cool stuff... how long does a tie like that take you? I can tie one in under 40 mins. I taught beginners who had never tied a fly to tie these at a workshop FFF held. The techniques are simple and straight forward and the materials list consists of a hook, thread ,lead wire (for weight) ,monofilament (3 sizes) head cement and permanent markers. Fred

I primarily use this fly on sheephead and finicky redfish in clear water . Mostly sight fishing. Would like to try it on bonefish and permit one day. FRed

It seems to me that it would be a one sheephead fly... Don't they crunch off the delicate looking claws? Not a criticism, just curious. That is a tremendous looking crab.

I have'nt figured out how to use the multiple quote so I will answer these in reverse order.
Chuck'n'duckin' These will last for dozens of fish , they are extremely durable. The claws are mono wrapped in thread covered with head cement.
