Re: Got crabs?
I am really liking your first and last ones. The shell backs on the first set are almost too pretty to fish, but not quite. ;) I have also taken a liking ot the yellow dumbbell eyes on the last set. I bet that is a great stimulator.

Thanks, and yep, the fish seem to like those “Crab Apples” too. I've never seen triggerfish more excited about any other fly than them apples. :mrgreen:
Bertus came up with that yellow DB combo on the last plate. They just look fishy don't they... :bigthumb:

Re: Got crabs?
Hi Gerard; Great Crabs.[Takes me back to my days in the Navy :)]
Any chance of a Step by Step or a Recipe or two??
Hope the Salt Water is being kind to you. Jax

Re: Got crabs?
Ya, I would be interested in your epoxy backs or hard shelled ones you guys did. New thing for me to try out. :D

Re: Got crabs?
Gerard, I am drawn to the second photo and the last one. They are great! As Jax asks - is there chance of a step by step for all these crab flies? It would be very much appreciated if you could. :P
Thanks for showing us also the fish that was caught with them.

Those are called Crab Apples and step-by-step tying instructions are available by John Morin here.

Gerard; Thanks for the link to the Step By Step of the Crab.
What a delightful Neat and tidy Crab. No wonder the fish go nuts.
I will be having a go at tying some soon. Looks very interesting. Again Thanks. Jax

Some improvements we have made on the original pattern includes the use of longer rubber legs – provides better movement, especially the round rubber ones. ;)
