would crab flies actually be a viable pattern?? i dont SWFF but just curious is all. i would have thought traditional crab baits worked mainly on scent, and the target species for hard backs is usually wrasse, would the teeth of a wrass not destroy the lure on the first take???? Probably !! but if you managed to hook a decent sized wrass of the fly rod I think it would be worth it. I also ( I may be wrong but) think a Pollock or a Coalie would attack a lonley little crab :?
also if there is a little bit of weight in one of these lures would you be able to use it on a light spinning rod (rated 7-20gram) with a really slow retreive.Yes! I think it would be possible as you could make these whatever weight you wanted. Could be worth a try :idea: 8)
