Baby Paca Craw vs. Rage Tail Craw and The Chunk?

[eyedabassman]

It is a WAR, between the top dogs of the craw world!

My vote is for the Paca Craw, and Baby Paca Craw. What is your input?

[CJ]

I'm a Paca guy but I haven't tried the Rage Tails yet.

Netbait is who started making the end of the claws fatter to get the action of both of these lures and the YUM Craw Papi.Though Strike King added ridges to the claw's edges and will probally cause more water displacement.

Just my .02

I like t pacas cause you can put a tube rattle in them

[Tin]

Paca style, why, because I can make them cheap. 8-)

[Shadcranker]

Whichever is on sale I guess. Ever since the Paca came out, others have tried to duplicate the action.

Berkley has one, Gambler does too, and now SK.

Very similar baits, although Netbait has a better selection of colors, if you want to get real color specific.

I haven't tried the Rage Tail, but the Paca Chunk is my new favorite jig trailer as of a few days ago. The action was just awesome.

For my applications, I will find out this spring.

Used the Paca Chunk last year and it had awesome action.

Bought the Baby and regular size Paca Craws this offseason along with a bag of Green Pumpking Rage Tail Craws. Should get some nice action with those creek smallies in shallow water.

Yea a lot more water displacement on the rage.close call here,I like the fact I can easily put a loud rattle in the paca.The paca also falls a little slower due to the fact it is a tube.The rage is highly durable,and have caught multiple fish one one bait as long as the head doesnt rip.When the head does rip,just snip it off with scissors and you got a dandy rage chunk trailor.Either way they are both fantastic baits,and are my go to for flippin pitchin.

I love the Paca Craws! Only problem I have with them is that the claws rip off so easy, but they still catch fish with one dangling claw.

Search on youtube for YUM craw papi, and see what you think.  Paca craws and the Strike King 3x are also up.

I use Paca Craws for alot of my jig trailers.  i have not used any of the rage tail products yet, but i own a pack of rage tail shads.

I have done that for years. I would be fishing a plastic craw bait and the bite would slow or stop, so I would remove one of the pinchers and the bite would start up again. The bass see it as a easy meal because they think the craw is injured.

In my opinion, Rage Tail is hands down the best craw and/or jig trailer I have ever seen. Slow or fast, those claws are "Action Jackson". They are very durable as well. The claws even work on the fall with a 3/16 oz jig. Their movement is different than all others on the market and I Have tried them all. Paca used to be my favorite but has been replaced with Rage Tails and my jig bite has improved substantially.  

[bocabasser]

paca for sure. i tried the rage, and i like them, but the cost is more for less.

[Bassin_Fin@tic]

The rage is 2x durable I have caught up to 15 fish on one bait flipping,and part of that was after one of the claws was ripped off.

Not knocking the paca,it has its time and place too,and was said before,I can put a large tube rattle in it for extra loudness.Better yet try a rattle weight with a tube rattle once. 8-)

My sentiments exactly! When KVD and Denny Brauer tell you personally that the Rage Tails are the best action Craws and Chunks they have ever seen, bar none, and they are using them as we speak, I think that's good enough for me.

[Jake.]

I would try the Rage Tails if they would come out with a PB & J color....  :-/

[Cajun1977]

last year i had alot of success t rigging a pacacraw and dragging it over some pea gravel, i really liked the bait and have since ordered a bunch more

I hate to make light of your reasoning here, but surely you know that Denny and KVD have MAJOR sponsorships with SK. Not sure if they are a real objective source for a product endorsement.

According to Denny, he is basically a salaried employee of Strike King.  He just gets to fish instead of sitting in the office.

Used Paca for years and got my tail handed to me by a friend and he was using Rage Tails and same colors as my Paca's.  He had them before they came on the market and he consistantly smoked anyone else who was throwin Paca's.  That don't happen anymore cause the rest of us are using Rage Tails now and our jig bite is awesome. By the way they do have the peanut butter color although they don't call it that.  Good fishin!
