Julian Berry –
This cutter makes perfect crab bodies every time. I used it to create several bonefish crabs and the detail is spot on. Just add paint and glue, and they look realistic on the water.
Sean Edmunds –
Great tool for quick pattern building. I saved a lot of time by not having to shape foam from scratch. The cut edges are clean and consistent.
Dylan Ross –
I’ve used this with my own paint and feathers, and the results are very convincing. It’s especially helpful when I’m tying multiple crabs for a single fishing trip.
Penelope Watson –
The cutter is easy to use and produces uniform shapes. I only needed to add a few details like eyes and legs. Works well with standard fly tying materials.
