I fish mostly ponds and the Christie craw with a 1/8 or 1/4 oz bullet weight produces bass for me. The body is thick so I use an extra wide gap offset worm hook #4 or #5 to punch through the body for a good hook set. Thanks for posting this video.

Todd, these pool test vids are brilliant! Keep it up Baw! I still like the Zoom Z Craw. Those little ribs on the side give it better resistance on retrieve and I'm sure move more water too. Not to mention, it more closely resembles the shape of a small crab skirting across the surface. Reds like!

Too bad you didn't see the Rage Craw spinning. The hook wasn't lined up with the bait. That caused the claw to lock up. I've used several of those craws, and the best action I've seen is the Rage Craw.

@pdubel2972 жыл бұрын
In Europe I made the experience that less action can make the difference in a positive way, so disturbance isn’t everything. I guess that might be the case for your bass as well.
@joestrummer95072 жыл бұрын
It definitely isn't, hence the saying let the bass tell you what they want; at any given time mix-up/change size, color, shape, profile, action, and cadence. ALL of these baits will catch fish, impossible to say which one will catch more or bigger.

Cool comparison. Don’t know anyone that swims a craw style bait on the surface but to each his own. I personally like the Zoom Speed Craw for pitching and punching here in Fla. Also the Z-Craw is another good one. I can go through some plastic craws if the bite is on and the Zoom baits are much more affordable. Best regards. 👍🏻👍🏻

Crazy thing is I caught a nice 22 inch redfish on the MRGO kayaking out of Campos on the Berkley craw. I was retreating it with a 1/8 oz. Slip weight on a fusion ewg hook. Presentation while retrieving was nice for top water. Caught the attention of a redfish while retrieving from deeper to shallower waters.

Crazy legs chigger craw has better action than the other it vibrates going thru the water and the antenna’s whirl around as well and with any powerbait the smell is unmatched except now I’m trying the GOOGAN baits and the smell on those is pretty potent so it may take over my power bait Arsenal

Yeah I'm kinda with you on that one. On a couple of them (like the Zoom speed craw) the claws do not move much, if at all on a slow crawl or hop. I don't like spending a ton of money but the Yamamoto cowboy's appendages are moving all the time. Looks more like a creature than a craw but if it works who cares. It was still nice seeing them in comparison though. Take care!
