Quick take
Soft plastic crab imitations with air-filled claws for realistic saltwater movement.
This is a five-piece set of soft crab imitations, each about 4.5 inches long and rigged with a spear-point hook. The claws are air-filled to give movement in the water, and the colors run to black, orange and green. It suits saltwater anglers who want a crab pattern to throw at bass and other inshore fish.

- Redfish and permit fishing

Skip if

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
