steezy Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 1. Rage Craw (Falcon Red or Perl White) on a 1/8 oz keel weighted hook. 2. Rage Anaconda 7' worm Dark Blue T-Rig'd & 1/8 oz weight & bobber stopper above the weight. Quote
shootermcbob Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Rage craw, a few different colors, rigged with a keel weighted hook, texas rigged, and used as a jig trailer. Very versatile bait. Quote
Scorcher214 Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Rage craw, all the way! In bama craw seems to work the best for me. I can use it texas rigged, keel weighted, and I have even nabbed one buzzing it on top of the water! Quote
hookingem Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Baby Rage Craw, texas rigged with a 4/0 EWG hook and an unpegged 1/4 worm weight. A baby craw on a 4/0 EWG hook? Mines a rage shad on a owner twist lock 4/0 1/8 Oz. keel weighted hook. Rage craws pegged with a 1/8 Oz. Tungsten weight is a VERY close second. Quote
Pawpaws hot ride Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Hey folks, let Big-O know: What's your favorite RageTail product and how do you rig it? Let's hear it! Quote

matstone7 Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Can't pick just one! T/rigged lobster or thumper, C/rigged Eeliminator and of course a keel-weighted craw or smokin rooster will always be found rigged on my poles, sometimes with a little twist to the rigs comes into play too. 1 Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Rage shad. Hookingem put me on to them, but in a court of law I am pleading the 5th. I went out fishing a couple of weeks ago and switched over to a Rage Shad. First cast, hit the water, took a second to pull out a small backlash, 1/2 reel turn, 3.5# bass (in a span of 4 seconds). I put it right on his noise! I was impressed!! Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted July 29, 2011 Super User Posted July 29, 2011 Can't pick just one! T/rigged lobster or thumper, C/rigged Eeliminator and of course a keel-weighted craw or smokin rooster will always be found rigged on my poles, sometimes with a little twist to the rigs comes into play too. Now That's thinking WAY outside the box ~ I love it ! I bet that rig throws off some kind of vibration. How did you come up with it ? A-Jay Quote
matstone7 Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Yea A-Jay, it does throw quite a bit of vibration and works well. As far as coming up with it, the spinner rig was shown to me by a guide one day on a jighead. Just adapted it to a keel weighted hook, changed to a bigger blade and the rest is history. Fishing the Rooster like that without the spinner-rig works well too and is always my first choice as a search bait. It can be fished fast and anyplace you would throw a fluke or swimbait. The spinner-rig really comes into play sometimes at night, and/or in real dirty water. Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted July 30, 2011 Super User Posted July 30, 2011 #1 is a Rage Chunk it is the only trailer I use on my jigs. #2 is a Rage Craw. I use every size. (I can't believe I'm going to give this little secret.) I found a way to rig them that is even better than using a keel weighted hook. I found a little jighead called a Goby Sled by Buckeye Lures. It's is a killer when the bass are on the bottom. #3 is the Thumper worm. It is a great Carolina Rig worm and has been working great in this hot weather. Quote
bassinKS Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 first is the rage craw then followed by an anaconda and then space money t rig any colors Quote
joshholmes Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 gotta love the space monkey, and the rage toad as a close second Quote
TourPT Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Right now I would say the 10 inch Anaconda in the plum color, but I also like the craws and the space monkey. Quote
JoePhish Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 10'' Anaconda - Texas rigged, keel weighted - Big Tex color or Big Tex dyed BLACK. (If you actually made it in BLACK I would probably buy more than I do now.) 7'' Anaconda - Texas rigged, keel weighted, ChatterFrog trailer - Big Tex, Big Tex dyed BLACK, Watermelon/Red Craw - Texas rigged, keel weighted, jig or ChatterFrog trailer - Black/Blue, Amber/Green/Black, Watermelon/Red Space Money - Texas rigged, keel weighted, jig trailer - Black/Blue, Big Tex Quote
Super User Catt Posted August 2, 2011 Super User Posted August 2, 2011 Rage Rig A Rage Tail Lobster (Falcon Lake Craw) A Keel Weighted Stroker™ Hook, ¼ oz 5/0 Quote
SmokeRise1 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 I picked up a big selection including Chunks, Craws, Anacondas, Shads and Toads. Since I really like top-water, I've only really used the Shads and Toads. I would have to say Toads #1 and Shads #2. Quote
Revo_Carrot Stix Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 I use the Rage Shad (GrnPkm/Chart) w/ Gama Superline EWG 4/0 on braid as subtle alternative to buzzbaits or in a "froggin" situation. I get too OCD when my frogs roll over on their back (including Rage Toad), so the Rage Shad is very versatile for me. Quote

Glad you like the Shad and here's a Hooking illustration that might help with any Toad you choose... Mine run flawlessly when rigged like this! Hope this helps Big O www.ragetail.com Quote
Super User J Francho Posted August 4, 2011 Super User Posted August 4, 2011 I do real well with a Texas rigged Ragetail Craw in Bama Craw color on just about every lake that has fish in it. One from Richmond Mills: Quote
CoBass Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 The shad have been very productive for me this year. The craws produced a few nice fish this Spring but they haven't landed me nearly as many fish as the shad. Quote

Mine run flawlessly when rigged like this! Hope this helps Big O www.ragetail.com Thanks Big-O. I think the key is "nose up/belly bowed" which will just take more practice. I guess I'm programmed to texas-rigged my soft plastics straight. Quote
Big-O Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Thanks Big-O. I think the key is "nose up/belly bowed" which will just take more practice. I guess I'm programmed to texas-rigged my soft plastics straight. Most folks bow the back upward during skin hooking and that's the culprit for turn overs... Will cause it everytime Big O www.ragetail.com Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 6, 2011 Super User Posted August 6, 2011 Well, on second thought...Maybe instead of the Thumper, it's the Baby Craw. Quote
Fat-G Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 My other favorites include the Baby Craw for smallies, Shad, Thumper, and Annie. The Lobster is a definite as well. Quote
