Description
The 3” Craws slightly melt other lures when in contact but ever so slightly. Long term (Months) they may melt other lures.
Technique: Cast near structure or weed where the bass may be hiding, wait for the lure to drop to the bottom, then with the rod held upright pull the bait towards you 50-100cm then slowly wind in the slack whilst lowering your rod which is the pause and then repeat, lift rod tip so the bait is dragged towards you and “repeat”. Its an effective technique as you are slowly dragging the bait along the bottom ever so slightly you are imitating a crab kicking up mud/silt escaping predators. When the bait is still “pause” the claws float in a defence mode. Depending on the bottom these type of lures can get snagged so be careful. We have caught bass doing nothing at all. If you can see a bass, cast, wait.…. then nudge slightly. Regardless of your technique, these designs will deliver new ideas for bottom feeding bass especially in the colder months. They have opened up our minds in the winter lure fishing for bass.
The 3” weighted craws (Main Photo Robin Bradley) are sold as singles and have weight (18g) in them. They have a hook hidden inside the body.

The 4” creature bait sets (pack of 4 with a ball weighted hook) are a great addition to your soft plastic collection. We have added crab scent to our 4” Claws.
They come in packs of 4 with a weighted 5g weedless 3/0 hook so you can go straight out and fish for bass.
The they have hollow claws so if stationary they will float upwards.
In total, they weigh 18g with the hook and weight.
