Quick take
Three-inch soft plastic creature baits modeled after crayfish for bass and walleye.
The 3-inch Baby GOAT in Canada Craw is a floating twin-tail grub with a curved paddle tail that moves at every retrieve speed. It works as a finesse jig trailer, on a Ned rig, or behind a buzzbait, so one bait can cover several presentations. The soft ElaZtech body rides buoyant on the fall.
Best for
- Flipping heavy cover around rocks and wood
- Jig trailers for bottom fishing
- Finesse presentations in clear water
Skip if
- You need larger creature baits for pike
- You fish primarily in shallow water
Strengths
- ElaZtech formula lasts through many bites
- Tail action lifelike on crawfish presentations
- Works as standalone or jig trailer
Trade-offs

- Requires frequent rigging changes

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.
