Some Crack
some sliders
Some crabs
My fiancee said these were all terrible and she could do better, so she came up with this
I'm not sure how much action that will have in the water, but you never know
The sliders are pretty much standard, barred craft fur tail, flash, palmered saddle hackle, then a deer hair head and collar.
The crab is the same tail, but then a merkin style body using Senyo's laser dub
The crack is a little modified, mostly because I'm kind of horrified at the idea of spending $10 on an 8" dubbing brush. So I've got the normal tail, then a couple wraps of palmered marabou, then I just did a dubbing loop with some combination of EP fibers, SF blend, fuzzy fiber, ice dub, and craft fur depending mostly on whimsy. They're definitely not as neat and consistent as they would be if I used a brush, but this way is more fun .
I'm not sure about the marabou, it seems to kind of eat the tail, but I know it'll give a lot more movement in the water, so we'll have to see some day.
Hooks are mostly #6 B10S, dumbbell or bead chain eyes.
