NEBassMan reply :

Most craws i fish are used as trailers on jigs.

I like the YUM Wooly Hawgtail in 3" on the back of a jig.

CrazedL.IFisherman reply :

This ones hard for me because they might be my favorite type of soft plastic to through but i guess:

Yum Crawbug in black neon, like to use the 4 inch or 3.25 inch ones with booyah baby boo jighead

BaitMS reply :

I like the Yum Crawbug 3.25 and Sweet Beavers 4.2 both T-rigged. On the Sweet Beaver make sure to separate the tail.

roadwarrior reply :

GYCB Fat Baby Craw, but only as a jig trailer.

Black with blue flakes, watermellon with black flakes and green pumpkin with black flakes.

senko_77 reply :

Zoom ultravibe and Bass pro finesse craw. Any watermelon color will do.

CJ reply :

Netbait Baby Paca Craw in green pumkin.

Shadcranker reply :

For a jig trailer- Zoom Speed Craw (Green Pumpkin or Blue sapphire)

For Tx rigged flippin craw- the Gambler 4" Craw (same colors)

For shaky head or finesse applications- Baby Paca Craw (watermelon candy)

Color depends on water colors- stained - dark; clear- lighter translucent colors

wvubassfan reply :

smallie beaver dirty sanchez

or paca craw all colors

I lot of it is matching the crawdads on the river or lake that I am fishing. I really think flipping a few rocks can make the difference in whether or not it is a good day or a day that you will remember for a long time.

The_Natural reply :

A weedless football jighead rigged with a modified Zoom Brush Hog. I take the 'fins' and cut them a little to where they flair out more, and also cut speed-craw style grooves in the 'fins'. Here are some pics...

pipho reply :

Ill have to try that out this year The_Natural.

Catt reply :

Gene Larew Salty Hawg Craws in 6, 5, & 4 in the following colors.

Black Blue

Junebug/Blue Claw

Black Neon

Fished as a Jig Trailer or Texas Rigged

Stringjam reply :

Wiggle Wart Hey, it's plastic...

As far as soft plastic:

MadMan Craw Worm or GuidoBug in any green or brown for TX rigging.

I'll use either for a jig trailer, but most of the time I use a double tail grub from Yamamoto or Bobby Garland.

TXBasshunter reply :

Larew salt craw pumpkin w/ chart pinchers

Texas rigged

timmyswetarded reply :

i love the craws! so to start it off, wooly beavertail in green pumpkin or watermelon seed rigged on a brown spot remover. then craw papi in green pumpkin on a brown spot remover jig head. watch for the slide to the side and hold on! (this cabin fever is killing me ;D)

ww2farmer reply :

I probably make my craw selection too complicated.....but here is what I use:

Jig trailers : Yum chunk, and the yum crawbug. I use the chunk when a faster fall is needed as it is solid bodied or in stained water as the bigger claws give it a bigger "look", and the craw bug when a slower fall is needed, also in clear water the craw bug's more natural look is my #1 choice. It seems I fish the craw bug more than the chunk.......in fact I used the crawbug almost all of last year reguardless of conditions and had great results.

For T-rigging, I like the yum wooly bug (beaver type bait), I like to flip this into heavy mats on a 1/2 oz pegged sinker, also like the yum wooly hawg craw, and wooly hawg tail for this, but last season the wooly bug seemed to replace these.

riverat reply :

The Gene Larew 4" or 5" Salt Craw rigged Texas style with a 4/0 straight shank round bend hook or as a jig trailer.

The colors listed below have produced best for me.

Camo - My #1 color. This color was discontinued about 5 years ago, and was completely different from any camo colored plastic I've seen since. It's a black grape color with heavy green glitter on the top and heavy red glitter on the bottom - basically like a Junebug Red color but with a great deal more glitter. I don't have a clue why it works so well for me, I just know that it does. I was fortunate enough to have a friend in the tackle business who was able to get a good supply for me. I still have at least 500-600 stashed away, so it's not a problem as yet.

Also, Black/Blue Claw, Butterscotch, Pumpkin Pepper/Orange Claw, Pumpkin Pepper/Chartreuse Claw, and Pumpkin Pepper/Green Glitter.

I use them Texas rigged mainly from late Spring through Summer. From Winter through Pre-spawn, I usually use them as jig trailers.

Catt reply :

Gene Larew's Camouflage is Cinnamon Pepper Neon/June Bug Laminated; I still have a 50 bag of 4.

Brad_Coovert reply :

NetBait Paca Baits. I use the craws and chunks. Great swimming action.

flippinout reply :

I've used several craws but the Zoom Big and Little Critter Craws have REALLY worked for me anywhere. I've fished them in TN, KY, GA, and TX. I T-rig and C-rig them with outstanding results but I use them for a pitching lure mostly. They get through heavy cover very easily with lighter weight. I've caught 6+ bass in all four states on these. Favorite colors are Watermelon red flake, Green Pumpkin and Black w/ Blue claws.

RoLo reply :

Actually I have two favorite plastic craws, depending on the application:

> Yum Crawbug (a hollow bodied lure)

> Zoom Big Critter Craw (solid floating plastic)

I find myself using green-pumpkin with orange or chartreuse claws,

but I'm not aware of any color that wouldn't work equally well

Rattlinrogue reply :

I like Norman and Bandit crawfish pattered crankbaits best.I also like to use various crawfish plastics as trailers on jigs.

Bud reply :

The clawfish bait I use is top SECRET. Their is only 2 or 3 people who use it and all have been sworned not to tell. RW is the only one who is not part of the group who knows.

timmyswetarded reply :
