That is one good looking craw. I need to get around and do some tying of a few more. I haven't had much time for tying. Painted quite a few yesterday for the swap and to tye me some 1/24 and 1/32 for the summer. I have gotten some more craw material and silicon legs do do some more... Bought materials to build me another rod, a 9'6" spinning, so not sure which I will get done first.

Looks Good. I want that mold but just havent pulled the trigger on yet.
I did some research and found some interesting facts regarding crawdads and thought it would be worth sharing especially if you are shooting for a realistic imitation.

Hope I posted this picture properly. I have been wanting to try this jig for some time, and also learning to post pictures. This posting has gotten me off my butt and I tried. this is my first try. I plan on tipping this with a Berkley Gulp minnow. Hopefully the bass will think he is getting a 2 for 1 special. Pop

Good looking, they will definitely catch fish. I like the first 2 the best. Pop
