The Fish Skull CrawBody is a realistic, anatomically correct crayfish ("crawdad") exoskeleton made of the same light-weight, synthetic suede material as Fish Skull Frantic Tails. Available in olive or brown, the synthetic suede fabric accepts permanent marker pen very well which allows fly tiers to make subtle color changes or markings as desired. the small size is 1" (2.5cm) long, but is very detailed due to laser cutting in production. The small size is designed for #8 or #6 streamer (4XL) hooks and the medium size matches with #4 or #2 streamer (4XL) streamer hooks tied upside down. Flies can be weighted with lead wire, dumbbell eyes or, for the medium Crawbody, a small size Sculpin Head. 8 pieces per package.
I have noticed a lot of craw-fish in the trout I catch and decided to try this product to imitate the crawdads they are eating. They come looking very realistic already and just need to be tied up. They come with great directions on how to tie. I would recommend the medium size. The small are VERY small.

Very realistic

Most crayfish patterns I tie catch fish, but they only vaguely look like crayfish. By adding one of these over some dubbing and hackle with some silli legs for antennae...I started catching way more fish on my crayfish patterns! Very pleased with this addition to my patterns.

These bodies are really nice and make good looking crayfish patterns, but they're smaller than I thought they'd be... Overall I'm satisfied, but would like to see larger sizes for big trout and bass.
