Topwaterspook Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 I've just recently gotten into jig fishing after avoiding it for decades. I bought some Rage Tail Craws and tipped those jigs. My buddy asked what I was using. I told him. He asked me to pick up a bunch for him the next trip I made to the store. He's been having comparable success. Steve Parks has designed a great product. he's made me a believer. Thanks, Steve. 5 Quote
blockel Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 I agree! Switching to the rage tail craw this year has changed the football (jig) game for me! If only it wouldn't of taken so long to figure this out. What is everyone's favorite color(s)? I'm loving me some Dirty Craw recently. 1 Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted June 24, 2014 Super User Posted June 24, 2014 I'm with you. My whole fishing life, 35+ years, I used many different manufacturers of plastics, all decent to a degree, then a fellow board member here introduced me to Rage products. That was 3 years ago, and I use them almost exclusively now, for every application, and Big O is a terrific guy and superior designer! 2 Quote

David D. Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 I like Bama Craw for brown/orange jigs and Okechobee Craw for black and blue jigs. If I am just T-rigging them then I use Summer Craw. Similar to Dean, after using lots of plastics (but not quite 35 years worth), I am pretty much sold on all the Rage Tail products and they are about the only plastics that you will find in my tackle bag.... Along with some Senkos But, if y'all like the craw then you need to try the new Rage Tail Bug! I went out with some yesterday and pulled in 7 fish (and 1 softshell turtle) in 30 minutes. 1 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted June 24, 2014 Super User Posted June 24, 2014 WTG Stitch ~ and once you're ready - Step up that trailer to the larger Rage Lobster - That one's a little beefier, a bit more durable and can often be the driving force behind a most excellent photo opportunity . . . .

A-Jay I was looking at the RT Lobster long and hard the last time I picked up some RT craws and decided against it but with all of the love they get here on this website, I'll probably have to reconsider sometime soon. 3 Quote
Hyrule Bass Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 summer craw is by far my best producing color 1 Quote
papajoe222 Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 I, too, am a recent convert to the RageTail line. The action alone would have been enough to convert me, but the texture of the plastic and the added scent made it a decision I couldn't refuse. Summer and Bama craw work extreme in the slightly stained water up here and I've also done well with Black and blue at night. 1 Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted June 24, 2014 Super User Posted June 24, 2014 They really are a awesome bait! Mr. Big O is a lure inventor, I know it's goofy but the way the action is created? Just amazes me! Oh, the Goldfish is Scared to death of the Rage when I drop it in his bowl... Oh lord, my wife says Iam loosing it! Oh well, kids think it's funny....I like summer craw around here 1 Quote

MemphisFF Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 I love Big O but wasn't this designed by Denny Brauer? 1 Quote
Big-O Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Thanks ALL Denny assisted with the DB Craw! It was his request for making TWIN flappers on each of the two claws, then I had to design it and make it work... took us a year to get'r right... and it's RIGHT 3 Quote

Mccallister25 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 The DB craws Steve spoke of are awesome! Their a lil cheaper than the standard craw too at my local Gander Mountain. When Im not using a chunk, Im using the DB craw. Quote
ThurmanMerman Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Rage tail baits are the cats pajamas, man! Bama craw color gets slammed like crazy here in Indy. I also got a few packs of Rage bugs from Siebert Outdoors! 1 Quote
Super User J Francho Posted June 25, 2014 Super User Posted June 25, 2014 I've used other colors, Bama Craw is the one I grab most often. Combined with JJ's Magic, there's no color I can't come up with. 1 Quote

Thanks for the clarification..I love em along with the good ol rage bug 1 Quote
Schuyler co Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Thinking of trying the rage craws, they are more expensive than my usual chigger craws and Pitt chunks and less in a pack...do they hold up better? Better plastic ? Better action? Quote

Better plastic ? Better action? They probably aren't any more durable than what you usually use, but I guarantee you that the action of the RT craw will be better. The lower quantity and higher price kept me from trying them for a little bit; but I don't have any other craws in my tackle bag anymore. 1 Quote

ColdSVT Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 DB craw catches fish for sure! But they are not very durable...the claws detach extremely easy...but man o man do they catch fish lol 1 Quote
