Options
Quick take
Three-and-a-half-inch soft plastic craws with vibrating claws, salt-impregnated for holding bass longer.
Best for
- Bass fishing around structure and laydowns
- Flipping and pitching in dense cover
- Cold water when bass bite softer baits
Skip if
- You prefer larger creature baits for pike
- You fish open water where craws are uncommon
Strengths
- Vibrating claws and appendages add movement on retrieve and fall
- Salt impregnation makes fish hold the bait longer on the bite
- Green pumpkin color is neutral and works in most water conditions
Trade-offs
- Soft plastic degrades with UV and gets lost on snags; replacements needed often
- 3.5 inches is small for large bass; small mouth bass respond better
- Requires sharp hooks and quick sets to penetrate the soft plastic

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.
