Cracker Wullie
I have been working on some crunchers as well recently but have to admit I haven't really fished them before.

Like it very much - especially the abdomen. I too keep tying them but never have much success with them. Probably don't fish them right.

"Footballer Cruncher?" Why not call it the "Norman Hunter"?

Did you use horse hair for the body Wullie or is it just for the same effect?
