Hi all
Here are some crabs I made recently. Anyone that does much bream lure fishing would know that a cranka crab lures are very successful. The key to them is that the claws float while the body sinks putting the crab in a natural defensive position. A lot of fish try to nip off crab claws off and and the hook is attached to them. So inspired by them (cranka) I have made some timber crabs. The claws are ceddar and the body is oak.      They are far from perfect, nothing on some of the other I see here. But, I have been having a blast making lures and still got a lot to learn. Coming soon will be some small minnows I made for trout and bream
