Default Crunchers, 1st attempts...

Having seen Wullie's football cruncher, I thought I'd have a wee go myself.

Critique and/or tips very welcome.

like the olive one to mate try leaving yourself a bit more room at the head you'll get a better finish when you come to do your whip finish.

I think those look really good Gary the one thing I would change though would be the cock hackle for some hen.

Very nice Gary.

Are you a left handed tier?

Only thing I'd say is, hen for the hackle, cock for the tail.

Cheers

R/H tier, although sometimes I feel as though I'm left handed
