FL_Sharpshooter Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Just had an order of a couple packages of these that came in yesterday from TW. I couldn't believe the profile of these baits...they are monster! They look really great with the my all terrain 1/2oz grassmaster jigs too. How many people just fish these things by themselves? If so, how do you fish them? What size hook do you use? Thanks. Quote
MuffinMan Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Texas rigged with a slipshot 6-8 inches above the hook (creates great falling action) with a 4/0 ewg. Quote
Lake Forest Bassin Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 I Texas rig them with 1/8 or 1/4 ounce weight and I use a 4/0 ewg hook Quote
Big-O Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Flippin/Pitchin - 8 ft or less in low wind conditions - 1/2 to 3/4oz pegged or weight stop - I use a 5/0 minimum hook size either screw lock Moaner Stick'r hook or any flippin hook of your choice. Windy or deeper, 3/4 to 1oz. T tig or C rig - 5/0 screw lock style Moaner Stroker or off set round bend like Strike King or Owner. Weight depends on depth and wind conditions but 1/4 is my minimum and up to 3/4 in water to 30 ft. Rage Rig - 1/4 Moaner Weighted Stroker Top water - 5/0 screw lock Moaner Stroker or heavy wire EWG like Gammy. Jig trailer - 1/4 to 3/8oz shallow swim jig or 3/8 to 1/2 on shallow casting but 1/2 minimum when shallow flippin/Pitchin up to 1oz for deeper and windy conditions. Pinch off 1 section or tip for longer a profile or pinch two sections off for a compact set up. Punch - 5/0 Moaner Stick'r hook with 1oz minimum tungsten weight. Big O www.ragetail.com Quote
FL_Sharpshooter Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 Thanks for the suggestions . I think my owner 4/0 EWGs will get the job done. Great looking craws, they've very unique...love the huge profile of them. Quote

matstone7 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 I use them alone very often, normally T/rigged on a 5/0 hook or 1/4oz Rage-rig. Quote
jerkbait joe Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Rage Rig em Excuse my ignorance. How do you Rage Rig? Quote
Big-O Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Excuse my ignorance. How do you Rage Rig? Rage Rig is utilizing a weighted/swimbait hook on high action soft plastics other than swimbaits. This presentation provides a basic horizontal fall yet quicker than weightless presentations. Fishing them with a slow lift and fall like you would fish a stantard T rig set up is extremely effective and especially in relatively shallow conditions 8 ft or less. Here's a photo of a Craw on a "Rage Rig". This particular hook is a Moaner Weighted Stroker, hope that helps! Big O www.ragetail.com Quote
NateFollmer Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Here's my rage tail tip... Just put the thing in the water, the fish will eat it. I actually find the Rage Rig to be most effective now when the water is cooling. Cloder the water, the lighter the weight. Quote
