Quick take
Deep-diving crawfish crankbait with pulsating action that mimics fleeing crawfish for bass and walleye.
The Teeny Wee Craw in Stream Crawfish is a compact crawfish imitation, 1.5 inches long and roughly a tenth of an ounce. It dives about 2 to 3 feet, which keeps it in the strike zone along shallow rock and gravel. Anglers after bass, panfish or trout in small water can cast it on light tackle.

- Keep it ticking the bottom or the cover, and pause when it deflects.

About this type
A crankbait is a hard-bodied lure that wobbles on a steady retrieve; most have a lip that sets how deep they run.
On a lipped bait, a bigger or steeper lip usually sends it deeper.
Most lipped crankbaits float at rest and dive when reeled, so a pause lets the lure back up and away from a snag.
Compared with Jerkbaits: A jerkbait is worked with twitches and pauses and often suspends or floats; a crankbait is reeled.
