in search of larger soft creature baits. 2024

Nashua Nev reply :

I use a lot of rage magnum bugs and stuff like rage lobsters , yamafrogs . I am looking for other large soft creature baits. There are a bunch of large worms , but i am looking for craws and creature baits. Ideas ? Small brand baits ? small independent bait companies ?

LCG reply :

Not small independent companies but...

Zoom brush hog

Reaction innovation kinky beaver

Reaction innovation double wide beaver

Not sure how big your looking for.

Nashua Nev reply :

Thank You... bigger than those is what i am looking for.

RHuff reply :

Give the BioSpawn Vile Craw a serious look. These are great baits that are so versatile in how you can use them.

Beetlebz reply :

I use alot of missle baits d bomb. They aren't really huge but they have a really big profile. I love them as a flipping bait.

I second the brush hogs, although I prefer the baby brush hogs. The full sized ones are giant. Watermelon seed works good in clear water, I caught my PB this weekend on one:)

NorthernBasser reply :

It says they're are 4+", but they seem much bigger in person. They look like something out of the Alien movies.

IgotWood reply :

Conviction Craw by Power Team Lures. It's 4.5" and very bulky, has big claws which have a lot of movement. They come in lots of colors. I do very well with this bait throughout the spring. I rig it on a 5/0 flipping hook (or maybe a 6/0) and a pegged weight. Deadly bait for pitching around stumps and wood.

RHuff reply :

I think this thread proves there are a lot of good baits out there that gets the job done and it’s really about what you have the most confidence in.

Frisbie385 reply :

Yum Magnum Christie Critter. These have been producing well for us the last few weeks and they are fairly cheap compared to other brands

This is like a giant 6" Brush Hog! I've heard from a couple of people who have thrown these and they really like the bigger profile, say they move a lot of water!

Pro Logcatcher reply :

X2 on the VileCraw. They are really good.

Nashua Nev reply :

Thank You , excellent info . exactly what i was looking for for.

Companies and creatures that i did not know existed. I fish a lot of small and med sizes as well as a lot of rage magnum stuff and many different colors ,

Manns jelly 10 and 12 inch worms included. But what i was lacking was the big creature stuff and no one here in New Hampshire carries any of it. Looks like i will be ordering from several different places.

6 to 12 inch creatures , Thank You again for all the info

sometimes they want a full meal , sometimes they want just a little snack. One of my 6 lbers came on a trout fly 1/2 the size of a dime. Several 1 lbers on the big spro rat.

Thank You again.

Arcs&sparks reply :

Great topic. I gotta give some of these a try.

MotoSD reply :

Not sure if it's large enough for you but how about the papa pit boss? Those and the magnum rage bugs are my choices when looking for a versatile larger profile creature type plastic. I'll thread them on a skirted jig if I want even more bulk.

Love the magnum bug and recently picked up some of the big pit boss'. Could not believe how big of a hook those things would hold.
