Beast Brushes Flats Craft Dual Color The Claw Crab Fly Material
Now available in dual colors, Beast Brushes “The Claw” is an alternative to the work needed for the chenille on Dave Skok’s Strong Arm Merkin. No resin, no guess work as to how far to tie around the bend, no smell (no resin or glue), designed to use its drag in the water during its descent to keep it hook point up, consistent size, faster and dead straight every time. Respects the ingenuity that Dave showed with developing the Strong Arm Merkin, and the claw is a fine alternative to chenille.

David Dickens –
I’ve used The Claw for several fishing trips now and it’s much easier than chenille. No glue, no smell, and it stays straight in the water. Works perfectly with my SA220 in size 4. The dual color option is a nice touch.
Sam Cameron –
Great alternative to chenille. The drag keeps the hook point up, and it’s consistent every time. I didn’t have to trim or glue anything. The large size fits my SA220 size 2 perfectly.
Anne Wallace –
The claw holds up well in the water and is much simpler to tie than the original chenille. Only downside is the color options are limited to two, but it’s still a solid choice.
