Cool looking craw tube.

This looks great in the water.

I'd wager a regular tube of the same size and color will out produce that thing on a consistent basis.

I rig the YUM crawbug like that :)

It does have a very different action than a standard tube.

Realistic looking craw baits have never produced well for me. Tubes, beavers, and twin tail grubs have always outperformed them by a wide margin.

And get hung up less. Where I fish, I'd lose one of these in minutes. That video looks like they're fishing on the beach lol.

I guess that depends on how you rig your tube, because this looks like the same action mine has.

 

Don't get me wrong, it looks pretty, and I don't think this is a really bad idea or that it won't catch fish. I just don't think it's much of an improvement. Berkley claims they did extensive studies on tubes vs. craws and found that the claws didn't bring more bites.

 

For me personally, I've already got tons of craw trailers in addition to tubes. It would take something more revolutionary than this to get me to buy more.
