Quick take
A 2.5 in soft plastic crawfish with hollow body and flapping appendages that imitates a fleeing crawfish.
This 2.5 inch Crawbug in Crawdad is a hollow-bodied soft plastic craw with flapping appendages that mimic a crawfish scurrying along the bottom. Bass anglers can Texas rig it, flip it or thread it on a jighead. It also works as a trailer on a jig or chatterbait.
Best for
- Jig presentations on the lake floor
- Texas rig and wacky rigging for bass
- Areas with rocky bottom and natural crawfish populations
Skip if
- You fish open water without natural crawfish
- You need fast-sinking presentations
Strengths
- Hollow body and lifelike appendages create natural swimming action
- Three-dimensional detailing mimics real crawfish movement
- Works on jigs, Texas rigs, and other soft plastic rigging
Trade-offs
- 2.5 in size best suits medium bass and smaller species
- Soft plastic tears easily on rocks and rough cover

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.
