Fish Skull Shrimp & Cray Tail

Not only are shrimp and crayfish two popular food choices, but they can also be a blast to tie. Whenever you’re looking to add a little weight and a super realistic appearance to both crayfish and shrimp, Fish-Skull’s Shrimp and Cray Tails are almost impossible to beat. The Shrimp and Cray Tails were developed by Matin Bowden and are made out of stainless steel, which will prevent rusting and corrosion in saltwater use, and they’re produced in a few different colors and sizes to make matching forage nice and easy. Whether you’re chasing smallmouth bass and carp in a warm river or snook, bonefish, and permit on a flat, these tails provide a realistic look and just enough weight to get down. 

Uses

While the primary use of Fish-Skull’s Shrimp And Cray Tail is to provide a realistic tail on both shrimp and crayfish patterns, they offer a bit more than that. These tails also provide quick and easy weight and, depending on the hook you use, they’ll also invert your pattern in order to keep it riding hook point up. 

Comparisons 

Since there’s no other material dedicated entirely to recreating shrimp and crayfish tails, it’s best to use the Shrimp And Cray Tails whenever that’s your goal. However, if you just want to quickly add some weight to your patterns, both Hareline’s Bead Chain Eyes and their Plain Lead Dumbbell eyes are a great substitute.
