So here is the deal. I bought 16 different manufacturers soft plastic crawfish baits and a buddy and myself will battle them head to head on the creek until a winner emerges. Each battle will last 2 hours and all baits are as close to green pumpkin as possible. If you want fill out a sheet of which bait you think will rein supreme and pm it to me or post it. The winner will not recive anything but be reconized as being pretty awesome. SO game on. Also if you have any questions feel free to ask
bassbum85 reply :
Sorry forgot to add the fishing will begin in August and we will be wading creeks in middle TN for smallmouth, spots, and largemouth
Shane J reply :
Put me down for $50 on the Rage Tail Craw.
Senkoman12 reply :
id like to put $50 on the chigger craw, craw papi, and baby paca craw
Catt reply :
Ya gonna fish 16 different lures in 2 hrs. 
bassbum85 reply :
No each lure will get 2 hours of fishing time per brackett to see which will catch more fish. So each battle lasts 2 hours and then the winner moves on and is fished again for 2 hours and this happens untill there is only one. Also I am gauging the response to this because next year I would like to expand it and include some other categories of soft plastics and have a #1 soft plastic champ. It's just something fun and tests a little brand loyalty
hmongkidBee reply :
I like this idea. Can't wait to see which one wins. I think it will be the rage craw or the paca craw who will reign supreme
Incheon Basser reply :
although it's a fun idea your method is not scientific so therefor you can not prove which bait is better. there are to many variables that could change from day to day that change the way fish bite. in order for it to be a fair test you would have to fish at the same time, same spot, same temp water, same water depth, same presentation and so on and so-forth
but it sounds like a fun couple of days
Catt reply :
Never heard of or seen a Gene Larew Biffle Craw?
But I like Gene Larew
bassbum85 reply :
That's why they are being fished head to head so all the variables are the same for each individual battle. Granted it doesn't prove 100% wich bait is the ultimate best under every condition but it is as close to equal as I can make it
Shimmer reply :
Pretty cool idea, i'll keep an eye on it.
Grey Wolf reply :
It really is a battle between fishermen , who ever has the technique mastered best will win.
bassbum85 reply :
I did take technique into consideration as well. My friend and I both fish about the same style. Also we are extremely competitive wich I thought would help because its about beating each other and not having a preference towards a bait. I appreciate all the comments because it can only make this better

Yeah, you may fish in theory about the same style in your words but you are not him and he is not you so in the practice what is theoretical does not apply so results will vary and you end up with what BB said: who ever has the technique mastered best will win and in this case is not who but which bait will win.
Fun battle to perform but the results are useless.

But you will be fishing the individual "battles" under different conditions....the head to head battles MAY be a worthwhile comparison but who is to say the loser of battle 1 wouldn't have outperformed the winner of battle 8 so many hours later?

agreed. For this to be a worthwhile tests, all of the variables would have to be taken out of the equation, which is just not possible in this situation.
Still neat to see the results, but a test like this will not prove what's the better bait... it will prove what baits YOU are best at fishing, and which of the 2 baits worked best given the conditions.
TrippyJai reply :
I really like this idea and I think it's fun. Although it won't truly prove which bait is the better, it's fun to see which one will come out on top. I can't wait for the results. I am laying my money on the Chigger Craw.

yes, we are aware ;D
MMan16 reply :
I think you guys should each fish with both baits 1hr apiece then switch. This will prob help to take some of the human aspect out of it. Because then you'll have each bait fished by a different fisherman but the baits still would be head to head. Instead of one bait by one fisherman
Blue Streak reply :
Sounds like fun, have at it and let us know how it comes out.
BassCats reply :
No Hags craw??
bassbum85 reply :
Mman great suggestion and consider it done
evrgladesbasser reply :
Geez don't beat the guy up about it... Sounds like a fun little test that may not be perfect but hey, when is a test of fishing baits ever perfect?
cufishin reply :
Sounds like a good time for you and your friend, and no the results won't be good enough to publish in Scientific American. But, it's not like you're curing cancer or launching the Space Shuttle. To me this sounds more like a good excuse to spend more time fishing and gain bragging rights.
Catt reply :
Aint this the way everyone evaluates new lures?
I take new lures and place it against one of my go-to lures, if it can't produce at least 60% it's out of here. I do one lure at a time of the same type, like spinner baits, you can't fairly evaluate more than 1 or 2 new lures at a time. I give the new lure no less than 1 month but ideally 3 months giving it an entire seasonal pattern to work.
This scenario will be fun by sheer competition of lure vs lure & friend vs friend
bassbum85 reply :
Goin out this afternoon to do the first battle we will let you know how it goes
bassman31783 reply :
Even though I agree with the fact that there are too many variables to really come to the conclusion that one lure is better then the other, I still really like the idea and will be following closely. Have fun.

My money is on the Zoom Speed Craw.
flippin and pitchin reply :
Your retailer thanks you. Joe Thomas already did a fishing show on this called Ultimate Craw Fishing.
topwaterbob reply :
I did sort of a similiar test with toads. My favorite is the Horny Toad. I would have a Horny Toad and another brand hooked up. The color was as close to watermelon red as I could get. I have tried over 20 different brands of toads. I alternate casts with each bait. The Horny Toad always out produced any other brand. Just as some have said it proves nothing. In over three years of doing this the H.T is always the winner.
bassbum85 reply :
Well in the first battle last night we fished for 2 hours and caught 21 fish. The Berkley Chigger craw beat the Net Bait Baby Paca Craw barely. The final was 10 to 11
Nice_Bass reply :
Berkley for life baby!!!!!
ChiCityBasser reply :
My vote is for the Rage Craw and sounds like a fun test.

no doubt a lot of haters i think its a cool idea and fun
my money is on the chigger craw or rage craw but a good darkhorse pick is the big bite craw that thing can be deadly
Blue Streak reply :
You put two excellent baits head to head, interesting results and great fishing.
Jeff C. reply :
I see the chigger won round #1..
how about some details..
was it close??
did the chigger kick its butt bad ??
6 fish to 1 ???
MMan16 reply :
Nice. Chigger craw is my 2nd favorite. 1 is the rage craw. You guys must be having a blast with this. I know I would be.
bassbum85 reply :
Yeah its a lot of fun so far the chiiger craw won 11 to 10 so it just barely won. Also it was a pretty normal day of fishing I just didn't realize how many we actually caught until I tallied it up. This is all being done by wading creeks as well.
