Fox Squirrel Crayfish

  This simple little crayfish imitation is great for spring smallmouth bass and continues to work basically all season long. It's durable, easy to tie and offers an ideal silhouette for the bass. Tie it in various weights to creep it along the river bed in slower pools and eddies.
