Muad Dib Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 whats your favorite. i think these baits are pretty awesome does the craw papi claws move like the netbaits and rage tails on a fast retrieve? what are your thoughts? i got the craw papi in pb and j in the medium size and also in the largest in black and blue shadow. just dont know if i need to buy the netbait or strike kings also. help me bait monkey ;D Quote
Stingray23 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I stocked up on the YUM craw papi's for this coming season and I really like the way they look. I cant wait to use them. Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted February 21, 2009 Super User Posted February 21, 2009 They are all good baits and I am not putting any of them down! But I like the Netbait Paca craw and the Baby Paca better. I have the Rage tails but, for me I go with the Netbaits. Quote
gabes Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Net Bait Paca Chunks are just about all I use. I hear good things about the Rage Tail Chunk but they seem way overpriced. Quote
BASS fisherman Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 When the fish want something subtle I go with a Chigger craw. When the fish want something with more water displacement and action, I go with a Rage chunk. Quote

SuperNewbie Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 the rage stuff puts out a lot of everything they are pricey but according to friends they are worth it. me the new yum money craw looks promising ;D Quote

But I like the Netbait Paca craw and the Baby Paca better. I have the Rage tails but, for me I go with the Netbaits. x2.They are all outstanding baits though. I am partial to the pacas.Fish just straight up eat it and can be fished a hundred different ways in every kind of situation. No angler should be without it IMO. Quote
MNGeorge Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 We had a lot of success last year with the Rage Craw, both for LM and SM. We use them Texas rigged on a weighted offset worm hook. For a jig trailer, we use the Paca craw and baby Paca Craw. Have not used the YUM Craw Pappy or the Berkley Chigger Craw. Quote
Blue Streak Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Throw everything else away and keep the Pacas, those things are awesome. Quote
YJsmitty Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 My personal favorite is the Baby Paca Craw in Bama Bug Red you cannot beat it. Quote
rondef Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I have had great success with the Rage Tail Craws and Lobsters fished tx rigged. Quote
guitarkid Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 If you look on youtube, there is a group called theluretour. They test out different lures in a fish tank. From what I have seen the netbait takes it all, the yum kind of just falls over and plays dead, I don't think I saw the ragetail on there though. -gk Quote

Those baits look great in the package, but are turds in the water. I replaced them with paca craws and am glad I did. Yum does make a good "finesse" craw in the craw bug, but the craw papi is not there best effort. Quote
20bassfishin09 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I like all three baits. I have had my most success with the baby paca craw in a watermelon red color. I do like the rage tail craw's a lot, but they can be a bit expensive and tear easily! Tight Lines! Quote
Blue Streak Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I have had great success with the Rage Tail Craws and Lobsters fished tx rigged. I noticed a Rage Tail link at the bottom of your post. Are you sponsored by Rage Tail? Quote
Super User CWB Posted February 22, 2009 Super User Posted February 22, 2009 I like the Rage Craws. A tad pricey but they do work. Just bought some Gambler Flappy Daddys and they look great! I like 5" Pacas also. I can't see paying $7.00 for 4 Money Craws. Quote
rondef Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 No I am not, I am just a big fan of the Rage Tail baits, they have take my bass fishing to a new level. Quote
SuperNewbie Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 all this talk of paca craws makes me sad i just went and they don't carry any :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted February 22, 2009 Super User Posted February 22, 2009 all this talk of paca craws makes me sad i just went and they don't carry any :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( Bass Pro has them,some Gander stores has them and there are many online sites has them. Quote
pabassin Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 i always have a paca craw on one of the flippin sticks, chunks are great also. Paca craws are on sale as part of the BPS Spring classic sale! Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 23, 2009 Super User Posted February 23, 2009 Both have great action, but the Rage Tail is made of a stronger plastic and is more sturdy on the hook. I rarely lose one unless the jig is lost. Regardless of the fishing conditions, the rocks are always hungry! 8-) Quote
