I call them Natural Born Krillers. They incorporate a bit of UV in the Krystal Flash feelers and the body dubbing. Tied a bit around the bend on small Black Magic C Point hooks which have a nice shrimpy shape to my eye. For fun, I tie in shellbacks, eyes, barred rubber feelers etc, but I would imagine anything with a lightly dubbed body in a shrimpy pink/apricot, with Craig's bit of marabou or rabbit movement, would be the go. I remember either Gary Kemsley (or maybe Geoff Thomas?) recommending small Red Setters for krilling trevs, with a bit of the wing etc pulled off roughly. |
