About the Soft Plastic Craw
Crawfish-imitating soft plastics with pincer claws that flap and flutter on the fall. Used as jig trailers, Texas rigged, or on a football jig head. Crawfish are a primary food source for bass — when you hear that bass are eating crawfish on a lake, this is what you throw. Match the color to the local crawfish: green/brown in clear water, orange when they're molting in spring, dark in stained conditions.
