Overview
Built to imitate a swimming insect, this soft plastic lure is suited for anglers working currents, cover, and other changing water conditions. Its thick ribbed body helps with castability, while the two flanged craw appendages add a kicking action on the retrieve and during the fall. The hook slot supports weedless presentations, and it is designed to pair with wide gap hooks for fishing around heavier cover. Offered in a classic black-and-blue flake color pattern, it gives anglers a straightforward option for weightless Texas rigs and other versatile rigging approaches.
