Cody21w Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 My grandpa gave me this craw along with tons of other soft plastics. I'm in love with the color and shape of it. By slow rolling over rocks with the occasional pop pop I hammered the bass. Thank you Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 15, 2015 Global Moderator Posted April 15, 2015 A picture would help a ton or at least a little bit of a description of the bait. There's a few different craw baits out there. 3 Quote

DTack Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 here it is!IMG_7795.JPG Not 100% sure but it looks a lot like the madman craws that used to be made. Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted April 15, 2015 Super User Posted April 15, 2015 Not 100% sure but it looks a lot like the madman craws that used to be made. I was a rep for Mad man and I would bet a hook that it is a Madman craw! Too bad that Madman went out. I still have many of there baits and still fish them. they had the best looking craw out there. The Craw Bug was a knock off the the Madman craw! 1 Quote
bassh8er Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Yum Crawbug; my favorite soft plastic craw! Quote

That is a Yum Craw bug, the reason I say that is I used those after the Mooneyham Mad Man Craw went out. The one difference is the antennae, the Man Man craw tube had longer ones and the color of the bait pictured is crawdad, a color Mad Man didn't have. EDIT: I looked that the wrong picture, the Op's picture is a different color but it is still the Craw bug as the antennae are too short. Quote
Cody21w Posted April 15, 2015 Author Posted April 15, 2015 Yum crawbug in green pumpkin red Texas? Are they discontinued? Quote
boostr Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Try a River2sea standing yabbie. Still have a pack of those... Interesting bait. Quote
RSM789 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I believe that is either a Hula Popper or a broken tail Rapala. Quote

But the Madman also had little spikes on the claws. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted April 17, 2015 Super User Posted April 17, 2015 Yum or Madman? I would defer to Smalljaw67's post as he seems to know the subtle differences. Somewhere I have a plano box with a bunch of those in it that I do not use. Allen Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 18, 2015 Global Moderator Posted April 18, 2015 It's a YUM crawbug for sure. I have bags of both at home and looking at the two side by side, no doubt it's the YUM. Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted April 18, 2015 Super User Posted April 18, 2015 You are wright,it is a Yum. But the Madman also had little spikes on the claws. The Yum is almost an exact copy, I have had both and the only difference that stood out was the antennae, in the Yum version the antennae go just a tiny bit pass the claws and the mad man the antennae extended about 1/4" beyond the claws. 1/4" doesn't sound like a lot but on a 3" bait it is a noticeable amount, but if you didn't ever have both in your hand at the same time, you'd never know the difference, it makes me wonder if both were made off the same mold or someone had a mold made off the others product and they only changed the antennae. The other difference was the plastic, the mad man seemed to be a bit softer but the Yum scent seemed to really work, that is until they switched to the F2 formula and then it was no longer any good but that is another discussion.

Kevin22 Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Looks a storm craw to me. Very similar to the yum. Quote
