Dougs Custom Lures 2.5" Ned Craw Soft Plastic Finesse Craw
Finesse / Compact Jig
When & Where: Cold fronts, clearer water, pressured fish, rocky banks, and light cover where a smaller meal reads “easy.”
How: Thread it straight and keep the trailer compact—think short drags, little hops, and long pauses near bottom.
Why: The compact body and subtle twin-claw action add life without overpowering a finesse skirt profile.
Tuning: Trim the skirt to match the 2.5" footprint and keep the hook gap clean for better hookups.
Ned Rig
When & Where: Mixed bottom, transitions, docks, river smallmouth seams, and anytime bites feel “watching but not committing.”
How: Rig it straight on a Ned head so it stands up. Let it settle, then use short drags and dead-sticks—move it inches, not feet.
Why: The ribbed body and compact claws hold a natural craw posture and quiver on pauses instead of flapping wildly.
Tuning: Lighter heads = more hang time; heavier heads = better bottom contact in wind/current.
Standard (Ball) Jig Head
When & Where: Rivers, riprap, gravel, and subtle current breaks where you want a controlled crawl.
How: Swim it low and slow or “tick” bottom with short pulls and pauses.
Why: The narrow, ribbed body tracks clean, and the claws pulse naturally as water pushes past.
Texas Rig
When & Where: Light grass, shallow wood, and shoreline cover where you need weedless finesse.
How: Use a light-wire hook and keep weight minimal. Crawl, pause, and let it “settle in” to openings.
Why: You get a compact craw look with just enough claw movement to trigger bites without looking loud.
