Fat-G Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Picked up some Craws tonight. Rage Craw- Summer Craw, Baby Rage Craw- Candy Craw. I'm pumped to fish these. What hook size do you use for the Babys? Weight or no weight? Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted July 17, 2010 Super User Posted July 17, 2010 4/0 Gammy G-lock fits the standard craw beautifully. Weight is all dependent on the depth and wind. Quote

Super User Shane J Posted July 17, 2010 Super User Posted July 17, 2010 Yup, a 2/0 or 3/0 for the Baby is perfect. Also try that Baby Craw on a swim jig, and either one on a stand up jig head like the Spot Remover or Stiffy jig. You got some good colors, too. Quote
Super User Catt Posted July 17, 2010 Super User Posted July 17, 2010 I can't believe y'all...I can't these Texans around here to Texas any craw worms! & yes they were "worms" long before they were jig trailers Quote
Big Tom Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 I can't believe y'all...I can't these Texans around here to Texas any craw worms! Catt, I have learned a whole lot from some of your other posts. It may just be because its late....What the hell are you saying? ;D Quote
Super User Sam Posted July 17, 2010 Super User Posted July 17, 2010 Also you can cut the craws in half to make for a smaller profile when fishing a jig. Nice catch in your photo. When the weather gets cooler lets hit the Historic James River with your dad. Quote

Catt, I have learned a whole lot from some of your other posts. It may just be because its late....What the hell are you saying? ;D I teach a wide spectrum (age/experience) of anglers and it amazes me that when the subject of craw worms, especially big craw worms comes up no one equates them to the Texas Rig regarding them as jig trailers only. In my book one of the most deadly yet widely over looked big bass baits is the Texas rigged craw worm and I aint talking just flippn'/pitchin'punchin' either but ole school bottom bumping Texas rigging. I tell em come on guys y'all are from the great state of Texas, y'all ought to get it Quote
catchnm Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Uh, I get it. TR is the only way I fish the Rage Craws, both the Baby and the originals. Quote

I already love 'em. ;D Quote
helms83 Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 I bought some too and I'm so excited to try them. I bought both craw and baby-craw. I'm curious as to try them weightless, t-rigged, c-rigged, split shot, and jigged to see what works. I would think t-rigged and jigged would present the best. Any predictions? Quote
