Silicon Prawn/Shrimp version 6.0

The evolution of the silicon prawn:
version 6.0 - avalon style with dubbing in place of silicon swim fins.  Lead weighted with spray painted tungsten beads and dumbells





version 5.0 - First avalon evolution. Mustad long shank, dumbell eyes and four 2.5 mm tungsten beads


version 4.5 - heavily weighted, too white.  Good size.
version 4.0 - less silicon swim fins to cut down tying time. Intermediate sink rate using standard shank hook with 180lb wire
version 3.5 - much smaller and better colour match to specific strain of Upogebia Africana.  Not sufficiently weighted.  Slow sinking.
version 3.0 First colour matched to specific strain of Upogebia Africana.  Too large.  Floating.


version 2.0 - change in colour.  experimenting with body material, sink rate and leg material

version 1.0 - first semi realistic sand prawn.  Too white, unbalanced.  Legs using spun Ostrick hurl around copper wire.  Body and pincers foam.

  1. Your blog is very informative. Eating mindfully has been very hard for people these days. It's all because of their busy schedules, work or lack of focus on themselves. As a student I must admit that I have not been eating mindfully but because of this I will start now. It could help me enjoy my food and time alone. Eating mindfully may help me be aware of healthy food and appreciating food.
