Awesome tie Brian!! I think I have some tails left to give it a go.

[@chromeslayer5269]

I use a little foam glued on to the tips of the claws and I use foam for the eyes. I leave jt a little long so I can cut it to how I want it on the water. By doing this, the craw will fall with its claws raised up and its tail down. Drives smallies absolutely crazy. Also, instead of using that kind of tail, I flatten a set of dumbell eyes with a pair of pliers and then either bend the shank or buy a bent shank from spawn. Try it, you won't regret it.

Nice design. Do you have any video of it swimming in the water? I would love to see how it moves.

What color is the EP brush? Root beer?

😎 cool

[@mikedelis1872]

What wt. fly rod would you use for it?

[@FlymenFishing]

7-9 would be ideal. A faster action 6wt would be no issue either

Great tutorial! I fish something similar for smallies in the ozarks!
