[quote WET1]Nice, only suggestion I might make would be to move the brass eyes back to the eye of the hook. I know it's not anatomically correct but the natural defensive position of a crawdad being threatened by a fish is with his tail down and claws way up high waving. This is how all the soft plastic bass baits are designed.[/quote]
You know looking at all the Crawfish patterns tied by different tiers, it is about 50/50 on the weight by hook or by eye. Maybe because some use weighted lines. I have used both. But, I don't know if it is more productive but my favorite pattern non the less, has the weight at the eye and foam claws
