Whats your favorite craw that doesn't tear easily? A 2-3" craw for jig trailer or 4-5" craw /creature tube for punching. I'm tired of Netbait Paca tearing up so quickly. Anyone try Zoom Super Hogs? They seem to look thick/durable. I'm a fan of multiple appendages so it lasts even longer after loosing a few.

[Hi Salenity]

My favorite is the Rage Lobster. It holds up a lot better than the crawl and they consistently put more fish in the boat for me than other brands of baits.

In fact the other day I was fishing a Zoom Hog in Green Pumpkin and was only catching dinks once it fell apart I replaced it with a Rage Hog in the same color and casted it in the same spot I had just casted the Zoom and caught a 5# on the following cast I got a 4# in the same spot.At the end of the day I was still using the same Hog and had caught Dozens of fish on it with this 4# the last fish of the day. I'd say I got my money out of this one.

I use the Netbait paca chunks for jig trailers but the claws seem to tear off very easily. Sometimes only after 1 fish.

Zoom Super Hogs are durable, they have less action compared to a Brush Hog, but sometimes that's the key.

I would stop worrying about the life of the plastic your using. It is after all plastic. 1-3 fish is all i expect from any plastic lure, it is just something i expect so when it does become unfishable it doesnt bother me. If your looking for quality in design and action i would take a look at Rage Tail's line. The baby craws, craws and lobsters are awesome as jig trailers or thrown T rigged. The action is unmatched by any other IMO. They also have a few "creature" type baits. The rage hawg is great and so is the space monkey.

Screw locks make a world of difference.

Anther vote for the Netbait Paca line-up!!!!

Apparently some of you didn't read the whole post. He wants to switch from the paca craw because he doesn't like its durability.

My vote goes for the Rage Craw/Chunk/Lobster.

i'm a big fan of zoom--price, durability, and color selection. can't afford strike king just yet.
when i'm in heavy cover or the jig bite is good i might start switching to good ole' pork trailer.

i picked these up on sale at wally world. looks like yum's version of a heavy flip/pitch creature. they are durable and a 4/0 hook fits perfect--nice action from the two long curl tails when swimming it. couldn't find them online. anyone seen them around?

[bassh8er]

I like the Paca craw for trailers, but if we're just talking a craw plastic, the Yum Crawbug is hands down my favorite.

I have no problems with the Paca's not lasting!! And when a claw does come off,keep fishing it!!!! Smallmouth love to tare a claw off and then eat the craw, so just help them out some!!!

The Bass Pro Shops Incredible Craw is a real fish catcher that doesn't get near the publicity they deserve. It's like $2.99 for a 20 pack and they catch the crap out of the fish. I caught my PB 14.7 on a watermelon/chart. claw Incredible Craw with a 1/0 Gamakatsu Wide Gap and a 1/16oz slip sinker. It's also perfect as a jig trailer, especially the finesse style jigs (thinner skirt). Try em out!

I don't have a problem with the Netbait Paca chunks as trailers, they seem to be reasonably durable to me. I used a Ragetail Baby craw for the first time last week, c-rigged it, and it held up well also. I think to get claws that flap easily they can't be molded with plastic that is thick and rigid which would give you durability.
