i saw zman baits on fishing university(nothing else on to watch!!)..they were using a crayfish that stands up cause of the buoyantcy....any other companies make baits that will float up when fished on the bottom......

KickerFish has a new line of baits that stand up due to some air pockets that they put into them. They are sweet.

The Rage Shrimp and Crab are both made of Elaztec and float. The Shrimp is just nuts on a Carolina Rig!

Big Bite Baits Squirrel Tails - the tail end floats. My favorite shaky head rig.

Whopperbaits Boxing Craw

Cyberflex (3X) plastics have the greatest amount of buoyancy. To bad they catch on everything and have to be dipped in oil before every cast into the pads.

3X is superb for C-rigged baits.

Pretty much any plastic that contains little hardener, floats. Super soft plastic without salt usually floats.  Salt water soft plastic lures don't.

strike king elaztech (same stuff as zman plastics) there $ and & in finesse worms float.

Big Bite Baits Squirrel Tails - the tail end floats. My favorite shaky head rig.

Mine too.  These are a must see.  They made me an avid shaky head fisherman.  They catch fish like crazy when you drag them as slowly as possible or just tighten up the line and try to hold them still, letting the boat and the waves give the lure some action.  On the downside, the durability is below average.

Power Team Lures baits have some pretty good buoyancy in all their plastics and they work. Below is something that I found on their website explaining this process:

(Each of our unique designs are shot with the highest quality plastic and impregnated with our special blend of scents and salt during the injection process. By adding just the right amount of salt, we've achieved the perfect level of buoyancy which creates a tantalizing action that will help you draw strikes from even the most educated bass. Once they bite, our "special blend" keeps them holding on long after they strike giving you more time to slam back and put more fish in the boat. By complementing this with a proven line of colors, we've created a deadly combination to help you excel in any situation)

Owners Yuki bug has a paddle tail with an air chamber in it. In the water it stands straight up it kind of looks like a scorpion. It's produced pretty well for me and I just noticed they have a baby Yuki

Tube with some styrofoam in it.

To my knowledge, the most buoyant plastic concoction is under three pending patents:

3X (3M corporation), "Cyberflexxx" (note the 3Xs) and ElazTech. Be that as it may,

3x plastic is too soft and mushy to handle the heavy cover that prevails in central Florida.

My personal favorite plastic craw is the Zoom Big Critter Craw, which is made of

highly buoyant plastic that floats up in the defensive posture of a crayfish.

Additionally, the Big Critter Craw is made of tougher plastic that holds up in heavy cover.

In 2006, Preston Clark set the BASS all-time 4-day stringer record (Mar 30 to Apr 2).

The collosal stringer from Santee Cooper, SC weighed 115-lb 15-oz As it happens,

all 20 bass were caught on a Zoom Big Critter Craw (green-pumpkin/orange claws).

Preston T-rigged the critter craws on a 5/0 Z-bend hook with 1/4oz bullet sinker

(NO jig, NO skirt, NO weedguard)
