Bass taco did you not see Sprague put on a SHOW with this bait on a swim jig? He/They whooped the dog snot out of Defoe, wheeler, etc... If this bait wasn't dialed I doubt he wouldve been using it. Looks like an awesome bait! Good original too compared to all the other baits in the past 6 years. Id love to buy some when I can get more tackle next. Im not big on sprague, just saying he flat out dominated with this bait as a TRAILER. not just another flipping bait

that is why it's the Toxic Fishing Forum

many here are older and now realize just how unsuccessful they are and that is their legacy

Not all old men are as you say!

I remember when multiple guides and bait companies used to post on this forum all the time… some quality information. reading this thread was a quick reminder as to why that doesn’t happen anymore.

Thank you LFT for braving the bash-a-holics and posting here. Looking forward to trying out the new bait once I can get my hands on it, looks awesome!

These look a lot like one of my favorite lures I throw when I'm fishing for heavily pressured fish. I throw the SK Baby Rage Menace in these situations. May have to come by and get some of these.

Sprague cussed a trolling motor? Been there, done that, and got the T-shirt as well as several other things on my boat when I was younger, when I was his age I had a heck of a temper. I can't hold that against him.

No big deal Buda. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. We’ll continue to post on here as we develop new baits (expect another next month).

The menace is a great bait and I agree there are similarities. Our bait has a flat bottom and the planar wings to keep it from rolling. Theirs is a round grub body.

The other upside to the flat bottom is that it skips a bit easier.

Here’s a close up on a swim jig from Saturday.

I'm heading to the lake tomorrow to do some Pro Craw fishing and really check the bait out. I have the lure on the following rigs.
Jig trailer on Swim Jig and Flipping Jig.
Texas rig.
Shakey Head.
Carolina rig.
I don't think I would ever replace my Chatterbait trailer, the Magic Shad V-Tail, but will do so tomorrow just to see how the Pro Craw feels.
I also have one tied weightless just to see how it fishes like a Horny Toad on the surface in shallow vegetation area's.

Went to Tawakoni on Saturday and just wanted to give my impressions of the Pro Craw. And be aware that this is coming from a 71 year old who has a lot of years of experience but in my past few years has not had the best success in chasing down and catching these creatures.
Had all of the rigs ready and headed to our first spot with tournament partner Isaac and immediately realized I hadn't been on the lake in quite a while and the lake level was lower than I was expecting. I am what most people would call a shallow water power fisherman and some of my productive spots in this area was out of water. So we wandered around for a while and eventually was fishing a lily pad field. Tried a few different things and then went to my favorite way to fish and picked up my Texas rig and started flipping the pads. About 30 to 45 minutes in I got a bite and pulled in a small 1 1/2 lber. Not much of a fish but my first bite on the bait fairly early. Fished around more pads, a rocky point and some shallow grass with no bites and then backed out to some timber out in the middle of the flat and I was rotating between the Texas rig and Swimming and Flipping my Jig with Pro Craw trailer. I really started paying attention to the action and size of the bait and the more I used it the better feel I got for it and it looked awesome in the water. Even though it measures a little smaller than other soft plastics I have used most of the time it was still a good profile and I was liking how the flat bottom and sides of it gave it somewhat of a gliding effect. I threw the Chatterbait and Carolina rig a bit and seemed to work fine with both techniques but the fishing was really slow and no bites for a while.
After covering that flat and different areas we finally decided to head down the lake and just see if we could find an area that looked better with the lake level. The one other thing that stood out for me during the first part of the morning was that the bait especially on the Texas rig came through the pads and some brush and stickups really well without hanging up at all.
We then came up on an area which was a row of about 6 docks on the main lake kind of bunched together with some rock banks between them and it looked like a good area to congregate fish in that part of the lake. I tried a few different things but finally got back to flipping a pitching the Texas rig and Jig. Really quick I ended up picking up another small fish on the Texas rig at the first dock I came to. Fished down a little ways and decided to start with the jig. Spent a lot of time at first swimming the jig through areas of the docks and was loving the way the jig and trailer were working and was spending more time just feeling it out and watching the bait but didn't get any bites for a while. Then I just figured the fish weren't aggressive at all so started flipping the bait working it really slowly in the corners of the poles and out on the fronts of the docks. Within a few minuites I got another bite and managed to pull in a nice lille 2+ lber and then a few minutes later another bite and a 3+ lber.
Now the day get's interesting. We get to a dock and I am paying attention to some sloping steps under the dock and I tell Isaac that if I can make a good flip under those steps there ought to be a good one there. About my 3rd flip I put it right where I expected a fish to be and a get a really good thump and when I set the hook I almost felt like I hit a solid stump that didn't move at all. I did know if was a fish and knew it had some weight on it but my 50 lb braid snapped and sounded like a gun went off. I took the time to get another one of my jigs out and me and Isaac were talking about how that would have probably been a good one to get in for picture taking. We went on down to the end of the row of docks catching another fish that hit the jig. The most bites on a Jig I have had in quite a while but it is that time of year and main lake boat docks even though they only had 2 to 4 feet of water just sits up for this type of bite this time of year.
We decided to head back through the row of docks one more time before we headed in. By now I am really taking in everything about the Pro Craw and really thinking about how much I was really liking the bait. We are now really having a good time talking about the day and the upcoming year and we get back to that dock with the sloping steps and I tell Isaac that I was going to flip back under those steps and catch that big un. I put my first flip right back into the spot where I broke off the fish and immediately got a thump and set the hook and the fight was on to get that fish out and around a couple of the rusted old metal poles of the dock. As soon as I got it out front it surfaced and we got to see the fish and realized it was a pretty decent one and I got it to the boat and flipped it in. It was awesome getting a decent fish in to be able to get a picture of it to send to Lake Fork Lures. It end up weighing 4.13 lbs so not a monster but a good quality fish I would love to have in any tournament. Now the strangest thing of all happened as I was moving the bait out of the fishes mouth to take a picture showing the Jig and Pro Craw and while moving the bait out I noticed that there was a length of braided line coming out of the throat of the fish. I realized it was my Sunline XPlasma braid and that this fish was the one I had broken off and had already completely swallowed my previous jig. I cut the line off as far down as possible for the fish. We were dumbfounded. The day ended on a great and crazy note.
My thoughts on the bait.
I really liked the size of the bait the more I used it. Let's face it, a Creature bait is a Creature bait and almost all of them will work in certain situations but this one has a couple of designs to it that makes it a little bit different which I feel could make a difference with the flat bottom and the appendages connected down the side of the bait. And on my Texas rig using a 5/16 tungsten weight and 3/0 Gamakatsu G Finesse Hybrid Hook the bait went through brush etc with no problem and had a great fall and glide to it. On my Jig that I am really excited about. I custom make my own jigs in 3/8 and 1/2 ounce and use the 3/8 most of the time with skirt stands I order from Fishingskirts.com and usually always use strictly Dark Green Pumpkin and sometimes a strand that will have a brown or orange or other color with it. The Honey Craw colored Pro Craw went perfect with this dark colored jig and for some reason the flake in the bait really stood out in the sunny conditions. The bait is solid too. I luckily receive one bag and 5 of my fish came on the Jig and the Pro Craw stayed on with no problem.
So after a fun day with a good buddy I can only say that I loved the bait and can't wait for them to come out next month and I actually went home and have preordered about 10 bags of bait.
Thank you Mr. Morgan for providing me a bag of Pro Craws to check out and can't wait to add these to my arsenal.

This is a good reply. People judging this man’s character and never having spent a single minute getting to know him or have ever even been around him for that matter. There’s two sides to every story and no one cares about the good side so you won’t hear it. Great job standing beside your decision for your Prostaff team member Jeff.

Orders begin shipping today. Thanks for everyone’s patience. Hope you love the bait!

Awesome Matt. Great packaging. Can't wait for my orders to arrive.
