Nice fly bro Dron..
Did you epoxy the whole crab or just underneath the crab body.. Cannot see the bead chain, do you epoxy the bead chain as well.. Is the fly heavy? What weight rod do you reconmend to cast this type of fly.. Wah! this crab sure the bone fish cannot tahan la.. Nice for you to post this fly, hope all the people going to Maldives can tie this fly..
Cheers,
Yes, Razor... I apply 95% of the epoxy at bottom and a thin coat on the shell....
The epoxy gave the crab a good weight... the bead chain is to enable the crab sink in proper posture.....( just like clouser.. bead chain go first...)
I believe min 7-8wt will be ideal.... as the crab is quite heavy.... crab fly...we aim to go for the Trigger fish, Permit and Bonefish last....

I did it all with a pair of tweezers.... kind of difficult at first, but once you get use to it... you can tie the knob even you are watching TV.....
master dron...do u know where i can find that kinda tying tool?
i heard that it's also called splicing needle.
To be honest... I also looking for that tools..... at the moment, I have to use tweezers lah.... |

I have tied a sculpin minnow in craft fur.... I called it... craft fur sculpin minnow.... but the disadvantage of craft fur sculpin is the size... and weight......
Thus... trying with many different material.... now... I came up with this one.... using Polar fiber.... I call it......... Polar Sculpin
Ummmm.... still yet have lots to improve.......
