How to Rig Them:
- Texas Rig: The ultimate setup for fishing heavy cover. Pair it with a bullet weight for pitching into grass, wood, or brush.
- Jig Trailer: Attach it to the back of your favorite flipping or football jig to add bulk and natural action.
- Punch Rig: Rig it with a heavy tungsten weight for punching through mats and thick vegetation.
- Carolina Rig: Let it glide behind a leader for those deeper, slower presentations.
- Weightless: Skip it under docks or overhangs for a stealthy approach.
The Rampage Craw perfectly imitates a crawfish, one of the primary food sources for bass. Its lifelike claws and body mimic the defensive posture of a crawfish, making it irresistible to opportunistic predators. Additionally, the Rampage Craw can double as a bluegill or other bottom-dwelling prey with subtle adjustments to your retrieve.
How to Fish It:
- Flipping and Pitching: Toss it into heavy cover, let it sink, and hop it along the bottom to imitate a fleeing crawfish.
- Dragging: Drag it slowly across rocky bottoms or sandy flats to mimic a foraging crawfish.
- Hopping: Use short, sharp pops of the rod to give the claws a lifelike flaring motion that bass can’t ignore.
- Swim-and-Stop: Retrieve it with a slow, steady swim, pausing occasionally to let it sink naturally.
- Skipping: Its compact size makes it perfect for skipping under docks or into hard-to-reach spots where big bass hide.
