nike jordan 2011 How to Tie a Crab Fly Directions

Fly RecipeSaltwater hook in sizes 1-66/0 prewaxed thread in white, yellow, tan, or chartreuseAny type of hackle, in grizzly, brown, tan, or whiteMarabou, in white, tan, orange, or grizzlyZonker strips in white, tan, or pinkCrystal Flash or Flashabou in pearl, salt and pepper [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], yellow, pink [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or chartreuserubber legs, sili legs, or floss, in clear, white, tan, or brown colors. Fire-tip legs (with orange or pink at the end, after clear, tan, or brown) work well.Yarn or Enrico Puglisi's (EP) fibers for the body, in white, tan, brown, or yellow (two colors may be used to stripe the body)Lead or bead chain eyes.Tying InstructionsWrap thread back to the bend of the hook. Tie in a clump of Marabou, back off the bend like a tail.Tie a little bit of rabbit fur from the zonker strip off to each side of the marabou. Try to use matching colors (tans and browns go together, as does white and chartreuse or white and pink. This goes for the whole fly. Do not have tan, white, pink, and chartreuse in the same fly).Tie some crystal flash or flashabou on top (if the hook point is now resting down) of the marabou.Tie one or two hackle feathers on each side of the marabou and rabbit, splayed outward.Tie a little more rabbit fur on the outside of each hackle.(For steps 6-10, consult the photograph to see how the fly is supposed to look). Tie a piece of yarn or some EP fibers across the underside of the hook shank, perpendicular to the shank, like the back of the body of a merkin crab. Take scissors and stroke through the yarn if it is used for the body (instead of the EP fibers), to separate the yarn fibers.Tie a leg across the hook just in front of the yarn or EP fibers, so that the one leg extends on both sides of the shank. Keep everything untrimmed as you work forward to the eye of the hook, and tie everything from here on out under the hook shank except for the weighted eyes.Tie another strand of yarn or a clump of EP fibers under the shank of the hook just toward the eye from the rubber leg. Yarn and EP fibers are light and more buoyant than the hook shank, so tying them under the shank helps to flip the hook (so they will instead be on top) so that the hook point rides up, helping to avoid snags. This second strand of yarn or EP fibers may be of a second color, and the next clump should then be of the first color, resulting in a striped body.Tie another rubber leg in. Repeat steps 6 and 7 next, and then 6 again, so there will be four strands of yarn or clumps of fiber, and 3 legs. In other words, after step 5, alternate tying in yarn or fiber, and rubber legs. This is also how the body of Del Brown's permit fly, the merkin, is made.Now the yarn or fiber and the legs should be splayed off each side of the shank, and the body should be a furry mess with six (three on each side) rubber legs sticking out. Trim the yarn or fiber so that it is shaped like a coin (shorter where it was first tied in, and longer in the middle, and then shorter again close to the eye of the hook. Trim the legs so that they extend about an inch past the fiber.Tie in lead or bead chain eyes on top of the shank just back from the eye (also causing the hook to flip and ride point-up). Knot and cement.
Tying this crab fly is easier than it sounds. It is a big and bulky fly [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], making it hard to miss and hard to pass up for any fish. It will work for striped bass, redfish, sea trout, flounder, bonefish, permit, tarpon, snook, snapper, grouper, barracuda, and sharks. When casting to any fish, str
Bulky crab flies often swim well and result in more hookups. Tying rabbit hair or marabou in makes the fly look realistic and and gives fish a hard time time refusing it. In addition to Del Brown's permit merkin fly, the following pattern is among the most productive. Here is the recipe for the fly, followed by tying instructions.
