Arky/Flipping
When/Where: Wood, docks, reeds, and thick targets where you want a craw that enters clean and stays compact.
How: Run it as a flipping jig trailer. Pitch tight, let it fall on semi-slack, then hop once and pause.
Why: It adds a full craw profile without turning into a “parachute,” so you get better penetration and cleaner hooksets.
Tuning: Trim the nose a touch for a tighter skirt fit and faster fall.
Finesse/Compact Jig
When/Where: Clearer water or pressured fish when you need a smaller jig but still want a realistic craw silhouette.
How: Drag slowly and pause. Pop lightly when you tick rock/wood, then stop again.
Why: Compact jig + craw trailer is a high-confidence “make them commit” look.
Tuning: Extend the pause before moving it again—most bites happen parked.
Football Jig
When/Where: Rock, shell, and firm-bottom structure where dragging is the deal.
How: Drag and pause, letting the claws work on small shifts rather than big hops.
Why: A craw profile reads “right” on the bottom—especially on slow, methodical retrieves.
Tuning: If hang-ups increase, lighten up or shorten the drag length.
Carolina Rig
When/Where: Flats and transitions when you want to cover water but keep a craw creeping behind the weight.
How: Drag steadily and pause when you hit anything different (rock, shell, hardness change).
Why: The bait looks alive on the pause, which is where many Carolina bites happen.
Tuning: Short leader for tighter bottom contact; longer leader for more glide.
Punching Rig
When/Where: Mats and thick vegetation when you need a compact craw that gets through and triggers a reaction below.
How: Peg your weight, punch through, shake once or twice, then move hole to hole.
Why: The 3.5" size is a solid “meal” without extra length to fold or snag on entry.
Tuning: Rig perfectly straight—any bend reduces penetration and bites.
Texas Rig
When/Where: Pads, wood, rock, docks—anywhere you want weedless control and precise placement.
How: Pitch and soak, or drag a foot at a time with long pauses. In cover, let it fall, pause, then move it again.
Why: It’s the cleanest way to keep a craw profile in the nastiest places.
Tuning: If you’re getting nips, slow down and increase pause time before changing rigs.
