An articulated crawdad with polliwog claws…

Spawn Polliwog leech. Tied with a Polliwog tail and Spawn Dub.

A handful of Polliwogs.

Those claws are clever.

Not original work, but my first time tying the Steamboat Island Leech and Beach Bum. Also first time using articulated shanks. I think they’ll net some cutts next time out.

What's the most effective way to fish it them? I assume more suited to boat platform than beach based on the weight. Do you fish them on the bottom or mid-column? Fast or mid retrieve? Any specific tides or beach features you target? Thanks!
