Quick take
A 4 inch crayfish bait made from super-tough ElaZtech plastic with textured claws that produce violent action at any retrieve speed.
The Black/Blue Flake Turbo CrawZ is a 4-inch crayfish imitation sold six to a pack, built from ElaZtech so it floats. Left still on a deadstick, its head and claws rise into a defensive crayfish pose. It suits bass anglers who want a craw to trail a ChatterBait or swim jig, or to Texas rig on a football jig.
Best for
- Pitched and flipped around brush, rocks and weeds
- Bass anglers who want to maximize lures per pack
- Versatile retrieve styles from slow swimming to aggressive jigging
Skip if
- You fish only topwater and don't use soft plastics
- You need a true crab imitation for saltwater redfish
Strengths
- ElaZtech material is 10X tougher than standard plastics, lasting through many fish
- Textured claws provide lifelike movement even on pause
- Naturally buoyant design allows rigging without additional weight
Trade-offs
- ElaZtech plastic has different action than softer materials some anglers prefer
- 6-pack is a smaller quantity than some competitive craw packs
- Cream pearl color is visible to fish and may spook in very clear water
