Alan Marshall –
Great quality material for crafting crab flies. Easy to cut and attach to hooks. Works well with both sinking and floating setups. The soft texture holds paint well and looks realistic.
Harry Brown –
I used these for a variety of crab fly designs. The split legs are flexible and can be customized to fit different hook sizes. Only downside is they don’t come with carapaces, which I had to buy separately.
Michael Buckland –
Made in Australia as claimed. The material sinks properly and holds up well in water. I tied several flies using just the claws and it worked perfectly for bottom fishing.
Andrew Underwood –
The paint adheres nicely to the legs. I used it to create a custom pattern on a floating crab fly. It’s a reliable material for crafters who want variety in their fly designs.
