The Mandaclawrian
This design was absolutely based on a Blue Crab or Blue Swimmer, but… we felt it was unfair to just have this design out there for just Blue Crabs… silly name, but we like Star Wars ; )
The Mandaclawrian is designed and manufactured in Australia, this design is unique to Beast Brushes.
New Design 2023 !! All of our crab leg designs allow for more articulation in the right parts so it lands right, more visible legs, more defined claws and now an option for standing claws !!
These Blue Crab or Critter components have been designed and developed and now made in Australia by fisherman to realistically match your locally found crabs or a reaction getting critter.
Please note… when tied sideways, the Mandaclawrian is designed as a static fly, it is unlikely to move.

Jessica Parr –
The Mandaclawrian is a detailed and realistic crab pattern. It looks great in still water and matches local crabs well. The standing claw option adds a nice touch for different presentations.
Michelle MacDonald –
I’ve used this fly in several fishing spots and it catches well in calm waters. The articulation of the legs and claws is better than previous crab designs.
Sebastian Dyer –
Made in Australia, this fly feels solid and well-crafted. The attention to detail in the claw and leg structure makes it stand out among other crab patterns.
Matt Sharp –
It’s a bit stiff when tied sideways, but that’s expected for a static fly. Works well in quiet streams and ponds where crabs are active.
