nanticoke Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 I am trying to find something similar to the Stanley Hales craw worm since they don't sell them in bulk packs anymore. After trying some of the production baits and not finding a suitable replacement thought some of you might be able to hep me. Quote
backwater4 Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 Don't know where to get them, but those were some great baits. Black and Blue, texas rigged or as a jig trailer worked real well. Quote
nanticoke Posted November 23, 2010 Author Posted November 23, 2010 I have some left, Stanley still offers them as trailers in a jig package but they won't sell them any other way. Northern Bass supply carried them for years and was the last place that sold them as far a I know. Quote
backwater4 Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 Seems everything that works for me goes this way. Hales Craw, Berkley 4" finesse worms and Culprit finesse worms All great baits, but hard to find anymore. Quote
scaledriver Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 Anyone have a link to a good picture of these? I might be able to find something on the handpour sites I frequent. Quote
nanticoke Posted November 25, 2010 Author Posted November 25, 2010 Found a good picture on Texas Fishing Forum when I googled Hales Craw worm. Somebody bought out a tackle store and is selling it off. I will contact him about what he has for sale but still would like to find some hand poured . Thanks for replying. Quote
scaledriver Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 Ha silly me didn't scoll down that forum far enuff. These seem closeish the pincers are a touch diffrent I think though http://www.basstackle.com/product_p/4craw.htm Quote
WCCT Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 Pour your own, it's easy and fun. Here is a mold that is very similar. http://www.lurecraft.com/catalog.cfm/molds/plastic-molds/craws/5x587:304. I actually like the one in the previous post better though. It seems to have a little more detail and would still be very easy to pour. You can also ask some of the guys over on T.U. Someone on there probably pours it. Quote
nanticoke Posted November 25, 2010 Author Posted November 25, 2010 Scaledriver I don't want to pour them myself,but find someone to buy them from. That does look close though. The site I sent you to was from 2008 so I don't think I will be contacting him about the baits (oops). Thanks again Quote
nanticoke Posted November 25, 2010 Author Posted November 25, 2010 TU does have alot of soft baits on it. I pour my own jigs and spinnerbaits so I guess I shouldn't rule out pouring my own worms. Quote
Nibbles Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 The Hale Craw Worm looks a lot like the Gene Larew Salt Craws. Have you tried those yet? Quote
nanticoke Posted November 25, 2010 Author Posted November 25, 2010 Yes but they are a little harder rubber than I like. Quote
