Very cool idea to get the rabbit strips to stay split apart by using that big bunch of crystal chenille (or whatever it is) at the back end. I have some rootbeer colored stuf and may have to play with that on some craw patterns.

The crab pattern jig tied by Heath Hippel is a pic from his website. I don't have any because they aren't practical for my area applications.

Noteworthy features are his custom no-roll jig head, tied in guard, and staged stacking to create outward material flair.

Thanks for the post, Keith, and thanks to all for the kind words about the crab. Glad to find this forum. Think it will be very interesting.

Tight Lines,

Hey, look who showed up, no help from me. Howdo Heath.

For the record, Heath & I have never met aside from a few emails, and I'm posting strictly because I thought other tie guys might be interested in his work.
