The one I make

I have to admit. Those look good!

I use an x zone adrenaline craw quite a bit. I like the yum Christy craws too. 
 

Those homemade craws above do look good!

[Columbia Craw]

I know nothing about craws.

I like natural forage baits “mad craw”

Net bait paca craws, Bass pro used to have a tube craw in Okeechobee color worked pretty good….. I’ve got a pack and a half left.

I've tried the Rage Craw, and for the price, I was not blown away.  My craws of choice are the YUM Craw Chunk 3.25 and a cut down Netbait Paca Slim for for finesse jigs.  I use the full Netbait Paca Slim for Texas rigs.  On full sized jigs, I prefer the YUM Craw Chunk 3.75.

 

That trailer and jig has accounted for most of my big fish this year and I can't find that size anywhere online, I hope it's not discontinued.

sweet beaver on a jig looks way more like a craw than any craw bait, no idea why but i’ve never done great on rage craw style baits, baby brush hogs and beavers work great for me though.

I'll add the paca craw/slim/chunk and Berkley chigger craw both of which have done really well for me - speed and rage stuff does the rest of the work In the craw department.

NetBait Paca Craw

Netbait Paca Craw is more effective for me than the Rage Craw in warm weather, and Zoom craw chunks in cold weather is better.

Another great thing about the Paca Craw is it's hollow chamber. I like sliding a worm rattle in there.

My favorite is the one with a claw removed.  Bass seem to favor them better, in my experience, than any particular brand or color.

I havent used a lot of the newer craws. Of the  old ones I have used  number one is the Larew. The Guido bug caught a lot of bass for me and the Riverside Big Claw. I still have some Big Claws. Hula Grubs , I think, fool bass into thinking crawdad.

[BrianMDTX]

@Bankc I caught two bass and a claw got ripped off. I put on a new craw, caught three but on the third I lost the bait. I re-rigged the one with the missing craw and caught two more (and lost one). Didn’t seem to make a difference. They were hitting it hard with one or two claws lol.

Y'all aren't even gonna believe when you catch a fish on a jig with no claws 🤫🤫🤫😏😏😏 

 

In all seriousness I think mostly they think it's a little sunfish or something and the rate of the falling and secondary action and profile you get with the. skirt do a lot of the heavy lifting with jigs.

Guido Bug was my all time favourite. I used both sizes. Now I mostly use the Zoom Critter Craw. I always liked craw baits with long antennae out front.

Sorry I cant pick one but I can narrow it to two.  Rage Craw and a Missile Chunky D.

When I visit an Ozark lake I use the brown and orange critter craw. The crawdads down there have bright orange pincers.

I liked the Critter Craw because it was as close as I could get to the Guido Bug. I wish we could still get the Guido Bug.

I used tons of the critter craws until that little dude came out.

The baits everyone is mentioning I classify as two different ones. Do nothing ones like the Gary Larew and action craws. The action craws I put in the same category as creature baits.

Forgot to add the rage menace, my most effective double flapper soft plastic by far, I used to love the smaller paca craws too, I think they actually also make a really tiny one I need to try.
