Revisit my Furry Foam Crab pattern which I design back in 2008..
Furry Crab Fly Tying Instruction
I realize it's time to put in some improvement and to make it more durable... the natural biots legs and the pincer was easily bitten off by fishes during the fishing. and these legs and pincers are not 'mobile' enough or in another words... not enough 'LIFE' given to the pattern.
Now this new 2nd version of Furry foam crab have more mobility and the moving parts are more durable.

Hook - Gamakatsu SL12S or New O'shaughnessy size 6 or 4
Legs and Pincers - Ultra Chenille by Metz
