How to Rig Them:

Texas Rig: Pair it with a bullet weight for a weedless presentation that punches through thick cover effortlessly.
Jig Trailer: Attach it to your favorite jig for added bulk and lifelike claw movement, perfect for flipping or dragging.
Punch Rig: Use a heavy tungsten weight to get through mats and dense vegetation.
Carolina Rig: Let it glide naturally behind a leader for covering deeper structure or ledges.
Weightless Rig: Skip it under docks or fish it over shallow grass for a finesse approach.

This bait mimics a crawfish in every detail, making it irresistible to bass that are keyed in on bottom-dwelling forage. It can also imitate small bluegill or other prey with subtle adjustments to how it’s fished. The natural defensive posture of the claws and the ribbed body create vibrations that call out to lurking predators.

How to Fish It:

Flipping and Pitching: Target thick cover like grass mats, wood piles, or reeds. Let it sink and then hop it a few times to mimic a crawfish fleeing or feeding on the bottom.
Dragging: Slowly pull it across rocky or sandy bottoms to stir up debris and mimic a foraging crawfish.
Hopping: Use quick, sharp pops of the rod to make the claws flare out, triggering reaction strikes.
Skipping: The compact size makes it ideal for skipping into hard-to-reach spots under overhangs or docks.
Punching: Use it with a punch rig to break through heavy vegetation and get down to where the big bass are hiding.
