My question is why there are 2 tabs connecting the arms? Do you cut one or both or none. Can you adjust the action depending on these tabs?

I guess but I use it undone and love it I've caught a bunch this year on honey craw. I have a bunch more baits coming from tw but the keep moving the back order date

I just separate the appendages

Chigger craws have that too. Keeping them together will severely limit the flapping action that the bait has, but it will keep it more commpact for techniques like flipping. Separating them will give the bait a better flapping action, and is good flr techniques like texas rigging and using as a jig trailer.

Ok great! I was just curious if any one had experience with separating only one or whatever. Thanks guys and super tight lines

I have fished them both ways, but prefer separating the appendages. More action. 

I guess it depends on what you want for action
