Description

1" Craw Babies are a true micro craw: little claws, little legs, and just enough “alive” movement to get bites when fish won’t commit to bigger plastics. This is a panfish and ice staple that also sneaks bites from pressured bass.

Finesse/Compact Jig

When & where: Shallow weeds, dock corners, brush edges, or any time you want a “jig look” without the bulk.

How: Thread the craw straight as a micro trailer. Swim slowly, then pause—let it fall and settle like a little craw that got caught out.

Why: Tiny profile fixes short strikes and gets bites from fish that are just “pecking” at bigger trailers.

Tuning: If you want more subtlety, snug it tight to the jig collar so the claws don’t kick too hard.

Drop Shot

When & where: Suspended panfish/crappie, deeper edges, or under the ice when fish are present but cautious.

How: Nose-hook for maximum natural wiggle, or light Texas-style around brush. Keep your movement tiny—short shakes and long pauses.

Why: You can park this craw in the strike zone without it looking “worked.”

Tuning: If fish are nipping, shorten the leader so the bait stays closer to the weight (more controlled, less wandering).

Standard (Ball) Jig Head

When & where: The everyday rig for bluegill/crappie/perch, plus trout—open water or ice.

How: Thread perfectly straight. Fish it with short lifts and controlled drops, or a slow swim with occasional pauses.

Why: Simple, fast, and deadly—this bait looks like a juvenile crawfish without needing aggressive action.

Tuning: If you’re fishing it under a float, use the lightest head that still tracks true so it hangs naturally.

Ned Rig

When & where: Gravel, sand, scattered rock, and “nothing spots” where fish roam but won’t chase.

How: Thread onto a small mushroom-style head. Drag slowly, pause often, and let it sit—bites happen when it looks like it stopped to hide.

Why: Micro craw profile is bite-sized and non-threatening, but still has a craw silhouette that fish recognize.

Tuning: If you snag, lighten the head and keep the rod higher so it glides over bottom clutter.

Texas Rig

When & where: Weeds, brush, and snaggy edges where exposed hooks get punished.

How: Small hook, rig straight, and fish it like a micro creature: pitch, let it settle, then lift just enough to scoot it.

Why: Lets you put a micro bait into “big fish places” without donating hooks.

Tuning: If it spins, the rig is off-center—re-thread until it hangs neutral and tracks clean.
