Went out yesterday morning throwing a 3/8 Green Pumpkin Strike King Jig with a SK Rage Tail Craw as a trailer. 

 

Caught a nice 2 lber on the first cast but was only able to manage one more fish after that.  The fish turned off as soon as the sun came up with blue bird skies.

 

Only issue I had was that the Rage Tail Craw continued to lose the pinchers.  This is the first time I've used them.  I love the action and water displacement that they give but they don't seem to be very durable.  

 

Anyone else have this same experience with them?

The claws on RT Craws get ripped off all the time for me. As a jig trailer, they usually only last one hard hookset before they're too torn up. Little fish will rip the claws off a lot as well. Rage Tail products aren't very durable, but wow do they work. I'll sacrifice durability on a plastic if it catches fish.

Fish catchin' machine!

Sometimes I can catch 4-5 fish on one if the bass are inhaling it. However, if they are just nipping or short striking they tend to not last as long.

I can usually get a couple on one plastic. Surprisingly I haven't had the arms get pulled off of the rage craws like I have with other craws/Beaver lures.

One recommendation I have is to pick up some Mend-it. If a plastic looks best up I replace it and fix it up when I get home. Saves a bunch of plastics and money. Obviously not 100% as some get beat up beyond repair or thrown, but it keeps more plastics usable for longer for me

The claws aren't very durable, you're right. They just flat out work though. If I have a fish take a claw off I put that portion of the body aside and either melt /w a lighter or use mend-it to attach a claw from another body that is missing a claw. Saves a ton of money. repairing the body is difficult though. I can't get a repaired body to last more than one fish. Repaired claws however can last several. 

The Baby craws are more durable if you'd consider a smaller trailer.

The DB craws seem to pretty durable although they have more suttle action.
