Considerations & Trade-offs

  • At 2.5" long, this bait is sized for finesse presentations rather than larger-profile craw options.
  • The design is built around realistic gliding action and buoyant claws, so it is more specialized for subtle presentations than for aggressive movement.
  • It is described for Ned rigging, pitching into cover, and similar applications, so anglers looking for a different presentation style may need another bait profile.
  • The pack includes 6 baits, which may be a modest quantity depending on how often the bait is used or lost in cover.
