Zoom Ultravibe Speed Craws 2024


fishing user avatarGoose52 reply : 

I was looking for an alternative to plastic worms or jigs for fishing deep and slow in cold water - something compact but would move some water. Looked through my plastics bin and found a bag of these Zoom Speed Craws that I picked up at WallyWorld a while back. Used them for the first time yesterday, t-rigged, and got a little 13" bass in 40 degree water. Today I got a very nice 20" 3.76lb bass in 45 degree water. So, I'm a happy camper.

Does anyone else fish these t-rigged? Does anyone feel that there is another compact (3") craw or creature bait that works better?

Hard to beat a rage craw or baby craw.


fishing user avatarBass Junkie reply : 

Congrats on the success!


fishing user avatarstanfan reply : 

I like to fish them on a football head shakey jig too. Works great around rip rap. Lets you work them deep and slow.


fishing user avatarSeanW reply : 

A zoom dead ringer is awesome and one of the most over looked worms on the market.


fishing user avatarbmadd reply : 

That is one of my favorite craws actually. I like to use them as jig trailers on smaller jigs. I also like to use them Texas rigged for flipping, pitching, and punching. They are a great bait IMO.

I have had luck on craws that have big claws that move a lot of water like paca craws and chigger craws but I catch a LOT of fish on craws that are subtle like the Yamamoto regular and fat baby craws.


fishing user avatarlynyrdsky1 reply : 

Love those on a carolina rig with the claws dipped in chartruese.

I was just looking at some craws like that - I think I'll start another TW shopping list... :(

Thanks! I got a fish to finish the year, and got a fish to start the year 8-) Not bad considering my lakes were frozen over just two days ago. The weather forecast is showing that I'll probably have soft water for at least a couple of weeks before they freeze again. :(


fishing user avatarjeb2 reply : 

I've had a lot of success with those ultra vibes. I use them on rubber skirted jigs, C and T rigs and on shakey heads. Awesome bait that has caught me a LOT of fish.


fishing user avatarkikstand454 reply : 

yup. i agree with everyone else. they are great producing lures..... but then.. almost everything zoom makes is. *shrug*


fishing user avatarGoose52 reply : 

Thanks for the ideas guys...me and the bait monkey have to do some browsing on the TW web site.... :(


fishing user avatarchoupique reply : 

Those UV Speed Craws are one of my top producing t-rig baits.


fishing user avatarBankbeater reply : 

I like to use them as jig trailers and on t-rigs in heavy cover.


fishing user avatarPrimus reply : 

It's been my most productive soft plastic the past few years and is reasonably priced.


fishing user avatar5bass reply : 

Take a look at the Yum Big Show Craw. They're versatile baits as well.


fishing user avatarbasslover12345 reply : 

I used the Speed craw to catch a 2 1/2 pound largemouth in my last tournament by crawling it around submerged wood and stumps

Yeah, especially the price part. I always stock up on those things in a lot more numbers than I do certain other creature/craw plastics.


fishing user avatarSPEEDBEAD. reply : 

I wish they still made one in all black.  I have a pack and a half left and I conserve them.

Actually, I wish ALL bait makers made straight black baits...


fishing user avatarCaptain Obvious reply : 

Love these baits can't live without them!


fishing user avatarGoose52 reply : 

A popular bait indeed !  8-)


fishing user avatarAluma-Bass reply : 

i mostly just get zoom for worms & lizards...didnt think they had good craw out. Ill have to check these out!  :(


fishing user avatarThe Bassinator reply : 

Try the grass craw too, same profile but the claws have no action and its designed to slip through cover pretty well :(


fishing user avatarshootermcbob reply : 

You might want to try the Yum craw bug, really looks like a smaller crawdad. I have had success fishing it texas rigged around rocks.


fishing user avatarFive-Alive reply : 

The ultravibe spped craw is a really good bait, I like to flip it on bedding bass as well.


fishing user avatarbweave09 reply : 

I used to love them as a jig trailer....never caught anything on em (probably because I had no idea how to fish a jig) but they looked so good. I may have to go pick some up

IMO, the craw bug has no action and is mainly used for tube type rigging if im not mistaken. :-?


fishing user avatarshootermcbob reply : 

it doesn't have alot of action, but it does work pretty well fished around the rip rap. I texas rig it and slowly drag it, hopping it here and there, with an occasional small rip. Bass seem to like it.

That's the 4" version, not the 3" version I was using.........but still, that's a great price.

Now, do I need anything else at TW... :(
