Though I might give it a try on a black and blue swim jig this wknd. If I can get out.

I meant vertical.... Duh. The claws going up and down rather then flat. Kinda mimicking a tail fin

Always thought of it after I heard other people rig like a rage shell cracker verticle

Never tried they seem to bite just fine the other way.. only rig the shell cracker like that but still get bit way better with it flat t-rigged

Before you rig it that way, see how it swims with it rigged horizontal. The Rage Craws for example put off tons of action when burned back. Makes your jig versatile.
