midnighthrasher Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I saw a fishing show (canadian sportfishing) today and the host was using a plastic crawfish that looked really good. It was plastic and had a built in weigh in the tail that you passed the line through which then you tied to the hook which was texas rigged. When you pulled on the line the crawfish would fold in the water like a retreating crawfish. It was amazing and looked so realistic in the water. If you know what lure this is please tell me. Thanks Quote
owl Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Crawdads are my favorite. The craw your looking for is the SLIDING WEIGHT CRAWFISH http://cgi.ebay.com/6-SLIDING-WEIGHT-4-CRAWFISH-FISHING-LURES-WMS-KIT_W0QQitemZ150291619222QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Sport_Fishing_Tackle?hash=item22fe141d96 Quote

Super User Dan: Posted February 23, 2010 Super User Posted February 23, 2010 I don't know the brand name but I've seen them at Wal-Mart. That's the only place I've seen them. Quote
NorCalFishinguru Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Was it the huddleston hudddlebug? Quote
Super User Dan: Posted February 23, 2010 Super User Posted February 23, 2010 No, I'm pretty sure I saw the same show and it was not a Hudd. thrasher, check Dick's Sporting Goods if you have any near you. There's a chance that I MIGHT have seen them there was well. Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted February 23, 2010 Super User Posted February 23, 2010 The Huddelbugs don't fold up...and they have the hook set up in the nose. Great baits though. Was it the huddleston hudddlebug? Quote
fisher of bass Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 how about these crawfish http://www.kitterytradingpost.com/product.php/pid/104/sid/596/tid/2333/prodid/13876 Quote
owl Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 The sliding weight craw folds up and the pinchers have air bubbles so they stand up in a defensive position. Quote
IwillChooseFreeWill Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I would think with a little work you could make almost any craw do this... just run the hook all the way through the tail side first so the line goes through it and along the belly, then just rig it normal (TR works better from what I understand) and if needed weight the head. I saw some local fishermen do this last summer and did decent Quote
airborne_angler Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Is this the one? http://www.histackleboxshop.com/Snag-Proof-Craw-Spin-Size-1-8-Oz-p/snag-proof-spin-craw-520.htm The tail seems like it would fold under upon retrieving it. How about this: http://www.fishingworld.com/BrazosTackle/Details.tmpl?ID=10530314072974733 Its basically a YUM Crawbug thats unrigged Quote
midnighthrasher Posted February 23, 2010 Author Posted February 23, 2010 I sent a emil to the host of the show and he answered me. Told me that he couldnnt say the name on the show because it wasnnt from his sponsors. You were right OWL. It is in fact the sliding weight crawfish found on ebay. Quote
