Berkley Havoc Pitboss, I challenge anyone to not catch fish with them. Easily my #1 catching plastic of all time.

Baby brush hogs are good fun too, watermelon red preferred personally for local waters.

Flipping/pitching/punching with speed craws is a lot of fun too, or on a shakey head in riprap. Zoom ultravibe speed craw or baby paca craw preferred there.

I always thought there was a difference between craws and creatures.

Technically there is, until the line between craws and beaver baits begins to blur... craws, worms, lizards, all distinct baits... beaver baits, brush hogs, etc... I'd call a creature bait though. Do you call pit boss or ike's devil spear a craw? Sure it's a crawfish imitator, but you don't call a brush hog a craw or lizard or anything specific either, because it isn't obviously styled to mimic a very specific animal to humans, just some plastic critter with properties of 2 or more critters probably merged into a little package.

It's like anything else with genres and categories, over time they all get reinvented and blurred *shrug*

Usually if its not a craw, worm or lizard then it goes in the creature category for me. Normally baits that don't really resemble a particular forage. Just reading through the post I noticed someone referred to a Rage Craw as a creature. To each his own if they do. Just thought it interesting.

Ah gotcha, yeah rage craw, paca craw, ultravibe speed craw, all still craws in my book as well. I was curious if you meant like the pit boss and other beaver baits you referred to as craws not creatures. I could see them going either way, some more than others, but overall I wouldn't be splitting hairs either way someone wanted to call those.

pit boss is what I would call a beaver style bait... a craw imitator (mostly) that isn't really crawfish looking necessarily...

vs.

Can call it either way I reckon... definitely some very out there "craw" type baits that blur lines lol... heck they got soft plastic turtles and salamanders even, as far as very specific critters goes, not just made up creature baits.

I think a seriously underused bait is the craw-tube category... LFT has one, there is another I can't recall the name of that is very nice... they are supple larger profile baits, collapse easily, can be internally weighted and fished like any other tube but with a grew legitimate craw/creature profile etc... very cool stuff imo

This is what tacklewarehouse classifies as creature soft plastics, defntiely a healthy mix of stuff including some that are more craws, worms, lizards, or even some swimbaits...or at least a baitfish profile 'creature bait' lol (one HELL of a shallow flipping/pitching bait and bed bass bait I might add)
