| This was my own version of
Richard Komar's Raptor. The pointy head with the oval eyes angled
does give it a mean look. So with eight "legs" and those body
colors, the name is a given. But however mean you can make it on a
#4/0 hook, it will still remain rather humble lying beside Richard's
original... on a #12/0 shark hook. |
