Tried The Rage Rig 2025
Comfortably Numb reply :
So water temp is 58* and fish are right on the bank and at the end of coves in 1' of water. I rigged up a 1/16 swimbait hook on a homemade 702 craw that I used to make. Worked great in the brush on the shore. Fell nice and slow (more horizontal) with the claws flapping. Basically fished it like a Senko. Fish were gobbling it and hookup % was very good. Any craw like a Rage, Paca, Chigger, etc will work well. Give it a try in real shallow water. They also skip great under docks.

One of my favorite presentations. With the rage craws I can fish it slow on the bottom or fish it fast right underneath or on the surface. Fish hammer it.
Shane J reply :
Oh yeah, that shallow stuff is perfect for the Rage Rig. I also like it on outside weedlines, or even suspended fish. You nailed it, too, fish it just like a weightless senko. The slow fall, with claw flapping action, gets 'em all the time!

fishva reply :
I'm not familiar with swim bait hooks. I assume the 1/16oz refers to the weight that's attached below the eye? Is it 3/0?
Thanks for your help. I'd like to give this a try.
Comfortably Numb reply :
Yes that particular hook is a 3/0 and the weight is 1/16. I used this light a weight this time of year when the fish are very shallow or undere shallow docks.
The 3/0 hook matches the hook slot on this particular bait so it is weedless/snagless.
You can go to 1/8 or 3/16 or 1/4 if you need it to go deeper.

Cool, thanks man. I've been seeing some active crawfish in the shallows for the first time this year, so it's probably the perfect time to give this a try.
eyedabassman reply :
I also love this rig with a Netbait Baby Paca Craw. But try the Mustad hook with the weight that you can move up and down the shank of the hook ,give's you a different fall if you want!
MCS reply :

Catt reply :
Do not ever try this rig any deeper than 10'! 
Comfortably Numb reply :
Caufgt 14 15-16" today on this same setup shallow. I'm really liking it with the light weight.
I was addicted to Senkos but this might be my new go to.

And don't EVER Rage Rig a Space Monkey or Smokin Rooster either... in any depth of water... especially if you have a weak heart or shoulders 
Lendiesel22 reply :
This rig is filthy
Mike L reply :
As I posted on another thread, I've always used a Paca craw for swimmimg, as a jig trailer and as a stand alone flippin bait. I picked up a pack of the rage to use it this past Saturday at a local tournament, and immediately got a hit by a male guarding a nest...then another and another.
Must say I be getting more.
Mike
