My favorite craw can be rigged multiple ways and the bass love them.

5 Anonymous
Best smallmouth bass plastic lure of all time!! I would without a doubt choose these over plastic tubes any day. Works in cold and warm water, nice overcast or bright sunny day, river or lake. Does n't matter how outside is, these will produce big trophies. If you have n't rig one of these up on your line, you 're missing out!

Most of my success has been on these baits. Regardless of the body of water I 've caught fish on them. They look so real that I went to pick up one I thought I dropped and found out it was the real thing. Now if I could only find them locally. If they are discontinued, I 'll be very disappointed.

5 Anonymous
The local tackle shop can not keep these lures in stock basically because I purchase them all! Without a doubt the best smallmouth bass lure I have found!

This is a highly productive craw, works great for smallies and walleye also. My favorite go to softbait.

Use this on the back of a swim jig for maximum action! The claws on this thing flap like crazy! Also a go to on any style of jig when you want great action. It's also really durable too... not like some of the other craws when you catch on or two and the claws get ripped off!

5 Gary
Perfect size for using in multiple riggings. Texas rig, Carolina rig, Ned rig, as a swim jig trailer, weighted or weightless. Plenty of action from the appendages. Add these to your tackle for your next fishing adventure.

Plastic is pretty tough and makes a great jig trailer or Texas rig alone. At this price point it ’s GREAT.

5 Catch Release
I 've been very happy with the action, durability and color options of the Rapala Cleanup Craw. I 've used it as a jig trailer and Texas rigged it on an EWG hook with success. The claws do n't tear off on short strikes which is a huge plus. The forward facing appendages on the side of the craw flutter when retrieved. The two tone color of the plastic and glitter look great in the water. Most importantly, this lure gets bit.

This bait catches fish! I have only used it Texas rigged. I have found it also to be very durable. Last time out fishing, only had one craw left and caught at least 15 bass with that one bait. Never been able to do that with any other soft plastic I ’ ve used. My new “ FAVORITE BAIT

I truly love these baits! They have such action and catch tons of fish

At first I was very skeptical about the googan baits but I decided to give a few different styles a try. The bandito bug has turned into my favorite flipping creature/craw soft plastic. Whether it ’s a pegged texas rig, jig trailer or my favorite... a Picasso wobble head. It always catches fish. When I first saw the bait in person, I thought it was too little for the lakes I fish but once I saw the action under water, I was very surprised at how wide those back legs kicked.. it gave it a larger appearance which was perfect. And that scent is amazing. Stays strong until the bait is unable to use. And yes, they are a little soft and can break easy but that ’s the price you pay for a bait with good action.

5 TommyT098
I bought these and landed about 10 fish( missed about 30) in only about 2 hours. One tip, if you buy from dicks, go in store and do the price match guarantee and only pay$ 6 rather than$ 7 for them. Other wise great baits and caught tons of fish, but they rip easily.

My favorite trailer for Jigs and Chatterbaits. Great action with good fish catching scent.

5 KYpiscator63
Chigger craws in the 4 '' size WILL catch bass! Texas rigging them and putting on a 1/8 ou. worm weight will put the bait in the hit zone, and will keep it pretty much snag free. I use this bait almost every time I go out fishing for largemouth. Finally, they hold up pretty well.

5 Josh K
works great as a trailer for jigs, the 3 inch version in green pumpkin is great for clear water.

5 Trich
I 've been bass fishing with these craws for 2 years now and always catch more fish and bigger fish than folks that I fish with. My father in law has turned into a believer ever since I took him and showed him these. Highly recommend!!

Versatile!! I like this bait a lot. Both sizes too. My favorite color is Nirvana due to the color contrast. You can flip it, pitch it and it makes a great jig trailer. It works on a black/blue jig or green pumpkin jig, just choose what color is down. The smaller size runs on a 1/4 ounce Ned jig with exposed hook and drag it like a tube. I would love to see a cinnamon black color offered.

I bought this on a whim not knowing how to use it. First try was on a Ned rig and it worked really well, after the second cast I got three decent size bass. Thought how else can I use this. It was a windy day so I thought I can just throw this out on a drop shot and let the current do the work and surprisingly it did. After about five minutes with this just sitting out there, I never moved it, a three and a half pound bass decide to eat it. Great little bait.

The King Rage Tail Baby Craw is my go to bait in the upper Susquehanna River. Rigged a 2/0 weighted swim bait hook my friends and I were able to regularly catch upwards of 35/40 small mouth bass with a few walleye and rock bass thrown in. I fish it from a boat or shore, works well both ways.

5 KrisMD
One of my favorite trailers for 1/4 oz jigs and I do use them alone TR. Very productive in either presentation.

5 Zac t
It has great action for when the fish are more aggressive, and I believe scent compliments it very well because I 've used this craw vs another brand( no scent) on a jig and they swallowed it as soon as I made the switch. I 've bought many more since then!

T- rig with 1/4- 3/8 oz tungsten bullet weight and a 4/0- 5/0 off set worm hook. You can use a 1/16- 1/8 oz bullet weight if you are using spinning gear. Cast to some cover and let it set on the bottom for a stretch with occasional twitches. Hits most often occur as the worm is falling to the bottom... but I have also had hits shortly after the worm hits the bottom and is just setting there. Stitch it along the bottom by lifting and dropping your rod tip 6 '' or so. Slowly works best, but the bass will tell you what they want. Do n't be afraid to tie on a big worm when you are fishing for largemouth bass! I 've had bass< 1 lb hit this worm like a train. I keep my colors simple... black and green pumpkin are all you need. Those 2 work in all conditions. A great worm by Zoom!!

Frequently Asked Questions For Soft Plastic Craw Baits

Soft plastic craw baits are primarily used for freshwater fishing, particularly for targeting species like bass. Their design mimics the appearance and movement of natural crawfish, making them an effective choice for attracting fish. Anglers often use these baits in various fishing techniques, including flipping, pitching, and dragging along the bottom.

Soft plastic craw baits are usually crafted from durable, flexible materials that allow for realistic movement in the water. These materials often include a blend of plastic compounds that enhance their lifelike appearance and texture. The softness of the bait helps it to mimic the natural feel of prey, increasing the chances of a successful catch.

Choosing the right soft plastic craw bait depends on factors such as the type of fish you are targeting, the water conditions, and the time of year. Consider the size, color, and action of the bait to match the local forage and fishing environment. Experimenting with different styles can help you determine which works best for your specific fishing situation.

Soft plastic craw baits offer several advantages over live bait, including convenience and longevity. They do not require special storage or handling, making them easy to transport and use. Additionally, soft plastics can be reused multiple times, providing a cost-effective option for anglers.

While soft plastic craw baits are primarily designed for freshwater fishing, some anglers do use them in saltwater environments. However, it is important to consider the specific conditions and target species, as the effectiveness may vary. Using baits that are specifically designed for saltwater can often yield better results.

Soft plastic craw baits are versatile and can be used with various fishing techniques, including Texas rigging, Carolina rigging, and jigging. These methods allow the bait to be presented effectively in different water depths and structures. Adjusting the retrieval speed and technique can also enhance their effectiveness in attracting fish.
