Texas Rig Craws 2024


fishing user avatarOutdoor Zack reply : 

Wondering about your favorite T-rig craws?  I have seen a couple older threads about craws in general, but I am specifically interested in using the craw all by itself.  Please let me know your 4 - 8 +/- favorites. 

 

As far mine, the only ones that I have really tried for this technique are the Zoom Big and 'Lil Critter Craws. They have both been productive, especially the Big critter in blueberry. 

 

 

Please let me know what you like 


fishing user avatarJon G reply : 

Rage Craw is my favorite. Nothing even comes close to being second.


fishing user avatarNHBull reply : 

I am with Jon....


fishing user avatarscaleface reply : 

Larew Salt Craw . I dont like the fatter craws as much as the skinny worm like section on the Salt Craw. Black with chartreuse pincers is my favorite . 


fishing user avatarRaul reply : 

Zoom Ultravibe and Rage Craw are my choices.


fishing user avatarthe reel ess reply : 

My first fav was the Zoom Super Speed Craw.I couldn't find them anymore in stores so I bought some Berkley Powerbait Chigger Craws and never looked back. Fish will hold these things until next week even if they feel you on the other end. They'll fight ya' for 'em.


fishing user avatarDamn Yankee reply : 

The Yum money craw works well for me,great swimming action and durable. 


fishing user avatarRoLo reply : 

 

Fished by itself, the 'Strike King Rage Lobster' (that was easy).

Netbait Paca Craw is starting to replace the Rage Craw as my favorite for both T-rigging and as a jig trailer.

fishing user avatarIgotWood reply : 

Rage Structure Bug

Power Team Conviction Craw

Power Team Craw Devour

 

Not exactly a craw, but I fish the Rage Structure Bug a lot, and I do very well with it. But this season I have been smoking them with the Power Team Lures Conviction Craw. It's big and ugly, and it works! However, I'd rig it on a flippin hook for better hook-sets. The Power Team Craw Devour is goo too when I want something a little bit smaller.


fishing user avatarDSTN reply : 

Zoom UV Speed Craw and for a lighter approach the BPS Incredible Craw.  I've caught a lot on the Incredible Craw and it's discontinued SK predecessor. They work on finesse jigs too.


fishing user avatarDtrombly reply : 

Christie craw, craw papi, zoom speed craw, paca craw.

What color/size did you get the chigger craw in?


fishing user avatarMNGeorge reply : 

ES Craw from Eversoft...between Rage Craw and Baby Rage Craw in size, same action, pretty durable and some colors you won't find anywhere else...our first choice for craws.


fishing user avatarbowhunter63 reply : 

Rage Craw or Rage Bug.I like em t rigged or rage rigged.There great fished slow or fast.

4" black with blue flake. It also tells you the hook type and size to use with it so you don't have to figure that out. I usually use a 3/16 oz bullet weight with a black bead between the weight and hook. 

 

I bought some in watermelon/candy flake color once and never got a bite so I packed them away in my "reserve box". I also bought a pack of Crazy Legs variety and didn't get any bites. Those have another appendage on them that seems to mess up the action and looks like a lobster to me. Even if you pinch them off it's not the same bait. It could be coincidental tjhat these others didn't produce for me, but the combo of black/blue original seems to really be the ticket for me. It's a confidence thing. And fish really will hold them a long time, giving you time to even make a mistake and still catch them. Big fish like them too.

gambler burner craw

strike king rage craw

jackall cover craw

berkley chigger craw


fishing user avatarBassWhole! reply : 

I'm pretty sure I can fill my bathtub and throw a watermelon candy UV speed craw on a 1/8-5/16 t-rig, and catch at least a couple. I hardly ever not have one tied on.

Do the crazy legs version swim like a brush hog style bait? Or do they just twitch? 


fishing user avatarClackerBuzz reply : 

Z man Turbo Crawz.  Once you go ElaZtech you'll never go back.


fishing user avatarkeltonz reply : 

YUM Christie Craw, green pumpkin.
