whats your favorite. i think these baits are pretty awesome does the craw papi claws move like the netbaits and rage tails on a fast retrieve? what are your thoughts? i got the craw papi in pb and j in the medium size and also in the largest in black and blue shadow. just dont know if i need to buy the netbait or strike kings also. help me bait monkey ;D
I stocked up on the YUM craw papi's for this coming season and I really like the way they look. I cant wait to use them.
They are all good baits and I am not putting any of them down! But I like the Netbait Paca craw and the Baby Paca better. I have the Rage tails but, for me I go with the Netbaits.
Net Bait Paca Chunks are just about all I use. I hear good things about the Rage Tail Chunk but they seem way overpriced.
When the fish want something subtle I go with a Chigger craw.
When the fish want something with more water displacement and action, I go with a Rage chunk.

the rage stuff puts out a lot of everything they are pricey but according to friends they are worth it. me the new yum money craw looks promising ;D

x2.They are all outstanding baits though. I am partial to the pacas.Fish just straight up eat it and can be fished a hundred different ways in every kind of situation. No angler should be without it IMO.
We had a lot of success last year with the Rage Craw, both for LM and SM. We use them Texas rigged on a weighted offset worm hook. For a jig trailer, we use the Paca craw and baby Paca Craw. Have not used the YUM Craw Pappy or the Berkley Chigger Craw.
Throw everything else away and keep the Pacas, those things are awesome.
My personal favorite is the Baby Paca Craw in Bama Bug Red you cannot beat it.
I have had great success with the Rage Tail Craws and Lobsters fished tx rigged.
If you look on youtube, there is a group called theluretour. They test out different lures in a fish tank. From what I have seen the netbait takes it all, the yum kind of just falls over and plays dead, I don't think I saw the ragetail on there though.

Yup, the craw papi is pretty dissapointing, the claws DO NOT flap and flutter on the way down like the paca craws, and on the bottom the nose of the craw papi floats (it's hollow) while the claws lay lifeless flopped over in front of it. Those baits look great in the package, but are turds in the water. I replaced them with paca craws and am glad I did. Yum does make a good "finesse" craw in the craw bug, but the craw papi is not there best effort.
I like all three baits. I have had my most success with the baby paca craw in a watermelon red color. I do like the rage tail craw's a lot, but they can be a bit expensive and tear easily!
Tight Lines!

I noticed a Rage Tail link at the bottom of your post. Are you sponsored by Rage Tail?
I like the Rage Craws. A tad pricey but they do work. Just bought some Gambler Flappy Daddys and they look great! I like 5" Pacas also.
I can't see paying $7.00 for 4 Money Craws.
No I am not, I am just a big fan of the Rage Tail baits, they have take my bass fishing to a new level.
all this talk of paca craws makes me sad i just went and they don't carry any :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Well you forgot the Chigger Craw!
Quoteall this talk of paca craws makes me sad i just went and they don't carry any :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Bass Pro has them,some Gander stores has them and there are many online sites has them.
i always have a paca craw on one of the flippin sticks, chunks are great also. Paca craws are on sale as part of the BPS Spring classic sale!
Both have great action, but the Rage Tail is made of a stronger plastic
and is more sturdy on the hook. I rarely lose one unless the jig is lost.
Regardless of the fishing conditions, the rocks are always hungry!

I am under the impression that Rage Tail tears easily. Am I wrong about that?

I think people might be thinking about the Shad. Strikes are extremely
violent and bass are often pulled from heavy cover. The craws may be
made out the same material, but they are almost indestructible.

I use nothing but Berkley Chigger craw
I've been thinking that I want to try those Rage Tail Trailers too....reckon they would do all right on the back of my big O jig? Nahhhhh....they're probably too big and have too much action....might scare the fish too much and slapp'em in the face and miss treat'em and such. Peta would for sure get on my case for that.....abusin those fish, puttin' those hook marks all up in their head'n'mouth'n'such. I sure am glad I've talked myself out of that deal, could be dangerous, and heck, I don't wanna have a big O fish come up'n eat my jig'n'trailer just like that. Might tear off my trailer or even break my line and make me lose my jig and a guys gotta have somethin' to fish with next time he goes fishin, know what I mean....
