No. I would have chosen a more Clowser type pattern. Those pinchers are a bit intimidating to a fish. In fact, ive seen fish actually get scared, and scream out loud.
I dont like tying flies that are hard to cast, and gave too much material over the hook shank.

This is super easy to tie. Plastic eyes are simply plastic held over lighter and tied in. Hook weedguard is simply two super thick pieces of line, barbell lead eyes, and polar flash. (I didnt tie this), and this is a shrimp imitation.
One other thing, its fished backward like a crayfish which, swim backward and in short darts. the 'sili legs' undulate and give action.
Rises up, like a defensive position. Which, fish love. Unless they're still screaming.
This same pattern can be modified as a crab pattern.
