Phantom Tackle, a soft plastic company out of Garland used to pour these craw worms with rattle chambers. They closed up shop 10+ years ago and I have never found a contact to acquire the molds. If you know of anyone who can create a mold from an existing pour, please pm me. TIA!

I might be wrong but I think www.pouritmold.com could do it, but it looks like it definitely wouldn't be cheap, it's $50 an hour for "CAD Product Design" plus $345+ for making the mold, as well as the cost of the blank mold itself.

There are some currently available options that are close
Gene Larew Salt Craw
Venom imitation craw
Zoom Magnum road kill
Rio Bait Craw worm (these are almost identical)



The Big Bite Baits version is on clearance

The only, and most important, thing missing are the rattle chambers in the claw. It's basically a pocket designed to hold round rattles.

The only current craw lure I can think of with a built in claw chamber and resembles the Phantom is the Yamamoto/Kinami Psycho Dad

The Riobaits, the Magnum road kill, and the BBB big craw are definitely big enough that you could push a small 3mm or 4mm rattle into the body

Rattle colllar on the hook with any plastic craw would be another option
