Drewski73 Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Someone on the T-Rigging craws thread mentioned using a weighted EWG hook on a craw. I thought that sounded great, and after reading about rage tails with their active claws, I decided to head to academy and buy some. Went to a community lake this am and it worked! They really mashed it on the sink! Just long hoppin it across the bottom. Great action on those claws! 1 Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted July 21, 2013 Super User Posted July 21, 2013 Love em. I think I have every color with Mr all the time. Lol Quote
Super User Shane J Posted July 21, 2013 Super User Posted July 21, 2013 Yup. The Rage Rig is a deadly way to rig Craws and Lobsters, as well as many other kinds of plastic baits. I actually have a dedicated Rage Rig rod, and it's almost always with me. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted July 21, 2013 Super User Posted July 21, 2013 Too cool! I think you will like the other Rage Tail baits just as much. Your're gonna have to try the Lobster at least. Quote
RyneB Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 that is a horrible bait. Take every pack of Rage Craws you own, and send them to me. I will dispose of them for you. Especially the Falcon Craw, Blue Craw, and Green Pumpkin Craw with the claws dipped in chart. dye. 2 Quote
Revival Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Good stuff! I need to try this as well. I have no luck with t-rigging the craws that i have. What weight did you use for the weighted hook? What do you guys use more, the regular rage craw or the baby rage craw? Quote
Drewski73 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 I used 1/16 oz. and really liked the fall rate with it. Just enough to make the claws work on the fall. It went from a faster flap on the hop, to a slow flap on the fall. I was using the regular rage craw in watermelon red flk. Quote
trupp30 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Good choice. I love using a rage rig set up. I, too, have a rod set-up exclusively for rage rigging craws and lobsters. I caught by PB bass this spring using this setup, with a Bama Craw. Good luck and keep throwing them you will catch alot of nice bass. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted July 22, 2013 Super User Posted July 22, 2013 Try using a Shell Cracker rigged flat on a Rage Rig. It falls is a spiral. The bass just destroy it. 1 Quote
Big-O Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 A Rage Rigged Space Monkey and Anaconda work well too... except maybe in parking lots 2 Quote

If I don't have one on the back of a Jig, I have it rigged on a 4.0 1/4oz Stroker hook Raged Rigged. The only two ways I fish them. Prespawn I killed it on a Green Pumpkin Purple Gold! 1 Quote
Drewski73 Posted August 3, 2013 Author Posted August 3, 2013 First time out since this post. They still work! This guy ripped the claws off and came back for the rest! Quote
Big-O Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Glad you're enjoying the Rage Rigged Craw... I think it's a great presentation on Most all waters I've fished as well! Quote
hookset on 3 Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 In the heat of Summer the bass really go for a lot of flapping on the claws. They seem to key on that Rage Tail action. It's lights out! Quote
