I like those GA, will have to get my grizzly hackle out and try to do the same thing. Tie in some at the bottom and whip it into position for the tail and then double it up in the front for the claws. All tied backwards though, claws at the bend and tail at the eye for a retreating crawdad. Might have to lay a couple hackle on the body and tie the crochet around it to form the legs.

And I thought it was a lengthy tie before.

Will be worth it though if I can get it to work right. The legs may have to be some other material laced into the crochet but that doesn't matter much.
