I just bought 2 packs of the rage tail craw.I got a pack of black blue flake to use for jig trailers and a pack of bama craw for regular fishing. I was just looking for some pictures of how you have them on your jigs as trailers??(Do you cut the craw or use the whole thing?) Also how do you rig them by themselves(bama craw)?? Pictures for that would be awesome too! If it isn't obvious i learn by sight lol

I have been killin them lately by using a 4/0 screw lock ewg hook, texposed, and a small tungsten bullet weight pegged on top of that. Drag that sucker thru some grass or weeds, and the bass inhale it.
Stupidity has a certain charm-ignorance does not.

All great answers and information IMO... These guys know their stuff and I'm not sure that I could've added anything better :)

Retrieve it just like a senko? Fall, twitch twitch, fall etc?? Or just a slow retrieval? Bullet weight?

Naked:

Both T-rigged and when using the Rage Rig Ilift the bait, let it sink on slack line
then rest for 10 seconds or more. With the Jika Rig, move the Craw with a slow
drag, stopping and jiggling the bait when it hits something. I do not fish this bait
on a shakey head.

As a jig trailer:

I like a slow drag with an occasional lift. Image how a live crawdad crawls along the
bottom and over things. That's what I am trying to replicate.

T-rigged with a 1/4 bullet weight in rocks or wood, pegged 3/8oz in grass. I use the Rage trailers on my jigs, or cut down ones I've already T-rigged with.
Is it spring yet??
