Rage Lobster vs Rage Space Monkey?

[txchaser]

Is the Space Monkey different enough to matter vs the Lobster or the Craw? Yeah they are a little different, but I can't tell if they are different enough to matter. I'm trying to simplify some, but not too much. I did notice the Monkey claws wont flap with 1/8oz weight, but I don't recall if the others do either.

I recently bought some Lobsters and I’m trying to figure out how I want to use them. Rage Craws are so versatile and I use them mostly as jig and Chatterbait trailers. Lobster seems a big bulky for those applications.

The space monkey is super versatile and more durable than other rage baits from my experience.  It makes for a suitable beaver bait, toad or jig trailer.  I always like to have a pack on hand in the warm weather months.

The Space Monkey is the better choice for a swimming presentation.

I used the Lobster on a swim jig today and caught four (missed a 5th that was a big one...it just didn’t get the lure). 
 

I cut down 1 1/2 sections of the body because it would otherwise have stuck too far out and led to short strikes. Gives some bulk for sure but I think it does pretty well in the application. 
 

I paired a Falcon Lake Craw with a California (green pumpkin with some red flake and some black) swim jig...for murkier water (rained a ton today), it creates a even more water displacement without being as aggressive as a Chatterbait.

I like to use the Monkey in a completely different set up, I found most success using it on the "Rage Rig". I found that suggestion on this forum actually. Use a swimbait hook with the weight connected to the hook. It will allow the monkey to float/swim down on a good angle as it drops.
