What craw do you guys have the most confidence in when texas rigging? I have had a little luck T-Rigging the Berkely 4'' Chigger Craw, but I'm looking for something different and potentially "better." Anyway, what craw have you guys traditionally crushed the big mamas on?
Strike King rage tail Baby craw or the regular craw. Don't know what it is, but the bass hammer this lure.
Rage, Paca, Flappin' Hog
Rage Craw!
Strike King Rage Craw is the best soft craw bait as far as I'm concerned. Just got a package from BTD today with several packs of three new colors.....for me that is. Falcon Lake Craw, Big Tex, and California Craw. They all look great and can't hardly wait to give them a toss and see how big o' bass I'll hook up with.
The plastic craw I use depends on how it's going to be fished.
For penetrating dense weeds and mats, I like the Zoom Big Critter Craw.
It's arguably the most streamlined of craws and is made of buoyant plastic to boot.
You may recall, that's the lure Preston Clark used to set the 4-day BASS record (since broken).
For cranking and gliding in midwater, I like the Strike King Lobster.
Many prefer the Rage Craw believing that the lobster may intimidate smaller bass.
I wish that were true, but the little rascals whack the lobster too.

I think I like the.... Uhhhh.... It really depends size of Craw I'm needing at any given time, then I probably prefer a..... well heck this is kinda hard to discern More importantly, I'm really glad there are some folks here that like RT's too

Any craw will work as long as it's a Rage Craw in Falcon Lake Craw color.
I'm not too fussy. Will be throwing it keel-weighted as I'm sure alot of other guys will be too!
(Darn Steezy)
I don't fish craws often, but when I do it's the Jackall Sasuteki Craw!
Paca Craws all day any day
For me, the Netbait Paca, Baby Paca, Tiny Paca!
I like YUMS craw papi
rage tail(craw & lobster), chigger craw, and i've just started using the GYCB hula grub.
I like berkley's new fatty havoc craw
bedding bass slams it immediately compared to worm or grubs lol
Rage Craw in Falcon Craw, Bama Craw, or Watermelon Red Flake
Rage Craw all day long!

Yessir, can't go wrong with a package of green pumpkin of all three of those around my neck of the woods.
Paca and Rage Craw
My favorite craw is the one you get out of the pot and place in front of you for a fantastic dinner.
Put some Cajun seasonings in the pot with them, aloing with some corn and onions and you have the best feast you could wish for.

The Havoc Fatty has been on my next Buy Order list
It was designed by Bobby Lane (he’s been tearing it up here in Florida)
who essentially beefed-up the scrawny body of the Chigger Craw.
The Berkley Fatty is rumoured to move like a Paca Craw, but I really hope not.
Although the paca craw catches bass, at high-speeds the paca is reminiscent of a
double-tail grub and at slow speeds it gets loose & floppy, like the flippers of a dead turtle

Bullseye. It's been years since I tore into a big bowl of mudbugs. I just may have to make a trip to Cap'n Cat's Seafood to get me a big bag...

You guys are making my mouth water.
My favorite craw baits right now are Strike King Rage Tails in Summer Craw, Bama Craw, and Green Pumpkin.
Raqe Craws for me. Green Pumpkin or Dirty craw.
Used to be a big Paca Craw fan until I tried some Rage Tail Craws...now I'm pretty much all Rage Tail when I'm fishing a craw. I haven't tried the Lobster yet, but the regular Rage Tail Craw and the Baby Rage Tail Craw have both brought many a Mississippi River Smallie to the boat.
Gene Larew Hawg Craw & Rage Tail Lobster

+++++++++++
I actually pulled these out yesterday while fishing a local holding tank and caught the majority of fish on them. The dirty craw was the color of choice
Rage, without a doubt.
The BEST Craw around is the WATERMELON CRAW.

They're not bad, really. They really similar to the Paca but not as fluid.
I like real craws too!
