Another mini crab.
They're becoming a little more refined. I thought I'd try some using bright orange, which is a trigger for many bream. This one was tied on a Gamakatsu Bonefish hook size 8. The carapace is made from cut down Velcro and then coloured with permanent marker pens. The legs were made of my new micro chenille that I have just received.
This one has an extra small dumbbell weight that does its job to ensure the fly hits the bottom the right way up. I plan to make up some more with heavier weights for use in deeper water, or water with a current.
I'm looking forward to trying them out in east Gippy some time soon.
