ABC Crawdads – Andy's Bugs and Creatures

ABC Crawdads from Andy's Bugs and Creatures make it quick and easy to tie hyper-realistic crayfish patterns. These pre-shaped bodies are precision laser-cut from synthetic suede to capture the claws, legs, and segmented tail of a natural crawdad, giving your flies a lifelike profile and movement in the water.

The soft suede material flexes and absorbs a bit of water, which helps the body come alive with a natural, pulsing action as you strip or crawl the fly along the bottom. Each body can be customized with permanent markers and finished with a thin coat of UV resin to create a tough, glossy shell that stands up to rocks, teeth, and repeated fish.

Features

• Laser-cut synthetic suede bodies – Pre-shaped crawdad profiles with detailed segments, claws, legs, and tail.
• Realistic movement – Flexible suede absorbs water and moves naturally, closely imitating a live crayfish or mudbug.
• Easy to customize – Takes permanent marker well so you can match local crawdad colors or add mottling and highlights.
• Durable shell option – A thin coat of UV resin over the finished body creates a hard, glossy outer shell for extra realism and longevity.
• Size range for different patterns – Available in multiple body lengths (typically 25 mm through 75 mm) so you can tie anything from smaller trout-sized bugs to larger bass and carp craws.
• Pack quantities by size – Smaller sizes (25 mm, 35 mm, 45 mm) generally include 8 bodies per pack, while larger sizes (55 mm, 65 mm, 75 mm) include 4 bodies per pack.
