Hawg Craw: A Crawfish-Style Soft Plastic for Bass Fishing
The Hawg Craw is a crawfish-style soft plastic bait designed to mimic the natural movements and profile of one of a bass’s favorite prey: crawfish. Featuring a compact, ribbed body and lifelike claws that flap and flutter during the retrieve, the Hawg Craw is perfect for flipping, pitching, dragging, or even as a jig trailer. Its realistic action and versatility make it an essential addition to any angler’s tackle box when targeting bass in a variety of conditions.
Key Features
- Realistic Crawfish Design: Lifelike claws and a segmented body replicate the appearance of a crawfish.
- Durable Soft Plastic: Designed to withstand repeated strikes while maintaining action.
- Ribbed Body: Enhances water displacement and holds scent for added attraction.
- Claw Action: The claws flutter and move naturally, creating vibrations to draw in bass.
How to Rig a Hawg Craw
- Texas Rig: Ideal for flipping and pitching into heavy cover like grass, timber, and brush piles.
- Jig Trailer: Adds bulk and lifelike action to flipping, football, or swim jigs.
- Carolina Rig: Dragged along the bottom to target bass near deeper structure.
- Punch Rig: Paired with a heavy tungsten weight for punching through thick vegetation.
- Weightless: Fished with a slow fall to entice strikes in shallow water or around visible cover.
Fishing Techniques
- Flipping and Pitching: Drop the bait into tight spaces like brush piles, docks, or vegetation, letting the claws’ movement do the work.
- Dragging: Pull the bait slowly along the bottom to mimic a crawfish crawling through rocks or sediment.
- Hopping: Short, sharp rod movements create bursts of claw action, triggering reaction strikes.
- Swimming: A steady retrieve near the bottom or through cover mimics a fleeing crawfish.
Best Situations for the Hawg Craw
- Heavy Cover: Designed for fishing around grass mats, timber, and rocky areas.
- Stained or Muddy Water: Vibrations and movement from the claws make it effective in low visibility.
- Seasonal Use: Excels during pre-spawn and post-spawn when bass are foraging on crawfish.
- Rocky Bottoms: Perfect for mimicking crawfish on ledges, riprap, or gravel beds.
Pro Tips
- Match colors to your local crawfish population: use green pumpkin, watermelon, or brown for natural presentations; opt for black/blue, junebug, or red for murky water.
- Use a heavier weight for better bottom contact when fishing deeper or in current.
- Add scent or attractants to the ribbed body for a stronger appeal.
- Pair with a medium-heavy rod and fluorocarbon line for better sensitivity and control.
The Hawg Craw’s realistic design and versatile action make it an excellent choice for anglers looking to imitate crawfish and target bass in any environment. Whether you’re flipping into cover or dragging along rocky bottoms, this bait will help you land more fish.
