Mole Crab Pattern - Tying over the winter

Well, looks like another year of fishing is wrapped up, cold weather has socked in.


I'll be tying up some crab patterns, and starting with mole crabs, very prevalent in the surf in our area: Thread: 6/0 Uni Tan 
Hook: Gama SC15 1/0 
Tail: Badger Hackle -tip trimmed. 
Mouth Parts: 3-4 strands Pple Krystal Flash over White BT. 
Body: Dub Loop: Back 1/2-Hareline Dubbin-White; Front 1/2-UV Hot Orange. 
Collar/Legs: 1/2 of a Light Blue Mallard Flank. 
Wing/Carapace: Light barred Mallard flank over Dark Barred Mallard flank. Flexament. 

These would be fished over a "light" colored sandy substrate.
