Quick take

A 4-inch soft plastic tube lure with a crawfish head profile, designed for panfish on jigs or drop-shot rigs.

The Crawdad 4-inch Craw Tube combines a tube's hollow body with a crawfish's claws in one bait. Its solid head makes it easy to rig, and the hollow body takes a rattle insert for added sound. It works for pitching and flipping into vegetation and cover, and each pack holds eight baits.

Best for

  • Crappie and panfish on jigs
  • Drop-shot presentations
  • Light to medium cover

Skip if

  • You fish for large bass
  • You want a true crawfish imitation

Strengths

  • Hollow body reduces weight for light jigging
  • Crawfish head attracts panfish

Trade-offs

  • Solid head is not as realistic as a full craw
  • Best suited for panfish size
  • Limited action on a dead-stick
