This design was absolutely based on a Blue Crab or Blue Swimmer, but...Flats Craft felt it was unfair to just have this design out there for just Blue Crabs.... silly name, but who doesn't like Star Wars ; )
The Mandaclawrian, is designed and manufactured in Australia, this design is unique to Flats Craft.
All of Flats Craft crab leg designs allow for more articulation in the right parts so it lands right, more visible legs, more defined claws and now an option for standing claws !!
These Blue Crab or Critter components have been designed and developed and now made in Australia by fisherman to realistically match your locally found crabs or a reaction getting critter
Please note... when tied sideways, the Mandaclawrian is designed as a static fly, it is unlikely to go well stripping it at any speed past bumping it. Tied straight... you can strip it as reasonably fast, provided you have the legs tied in straight and the rear swim fins are positioned evenly in all directions ( tilted up, and evenly spaced) either side of the tow point
These components offer the tier an ultra realistic fly that is as simple or complicated as you want to make it. The material used to make these components is soft and will sink. The material also takes ink and paint well.
