great versatile bait! punching with a big weight or 3/16 pegged and flipping into trees to jig trailers awesome bait love em!!

Awesome bait, has several fishing presentations.

Good trailer for small profile jigs, Good on a small bare jig head or Iconelli Rugby head, good as a T rig.

You guys who like the zoom speed craws really need to give these a look. I switched to these from zoom and never looked back. I've caught 17 fish on the one I currently have rigged and it's good for at least that many more.

They're also SUPER buoyant, they'll float a 3/0 EWG easily so they stand straight up on bottom. One of the best T and C rig baits I've ever used.

They are great but I have a habit of throwing all my lures of the same color together and if yo do with with these they melt down.

these ZMAN baits are junk made to catch fisherman......bought a bunch of bags left them in the bag like instructed and they all melted together. if you buy them use right away

Speed craws for the win. With just a tiny bit of dip and dye. Watermelon Red

Black w/ red flakes is my most productive color.

What's yalls favorite color?!

Usually;
Green Pumpkin Magic or blue
Watermelon Red or Magic or Candy
June Bug

I've had mine for months, no issues. The only time I've seen a problem is when they're stored improperly. It doesn't really make sense that they would self destruct without some help. That'd be kinda bad for business.

I had also caught 17 fish in 2 days on those 'junk made to catch fisherman' baits - on the same craw. So maybe it's the craftsman and not the tools, in your case.

They only melt down if you mix them with other plastics. Trust me I know I've been using them for quite a while and had no problems unless I've done that. But keep telling everyone that cause that means there will be more for me to use! lol

[quote=ChiefLA3]What's yalls favorite color?
Green Pumpkin 99% of the time and I will use the white or pearl white during the spawn, caught some on it today.

The Speed Craw and the Chigger Craw are, by far, my favorite crawfish baits.

A tip: Sometimes I use a Texas Rig Jig with my soft plastic crawfish. These are similar to the "punching" rigs that you see, but they don't weigh nearly as much. That is to say, they are designed for standard Texas Rig applications. Basically, you can achieve a big jig profile and keep the "weedless" qualities of a Texas Rig.

Also, I put these on Grande Bass Rattlesnakes and other worm baits to beef up the profile a little bit.
