Mike, Red Squirrel tail hair works well for the pinchers. Up to certain sizes that is. And make sure you rib the body with somethinfg that has just a bit a flash to it. Krystal Flash wraped around the thread for reinforcement works good. Burnt mono eyes are also nice as you can color them with magic markers after they have been tyed in. And use a kinna shaggy dubbin' and pick it out to simulate legs. Lots of things work well.....SLF, Seal, African Goat,.....anythng that can really be picked out. Good luck. mark.....
