I am finishing up organizing my tackle and came across a red craw patterned spinnerbait from strike king. I think this will work well after ice out. I crush on craw traps and square bills early in the spring. Anybody use this color and have info. they can share?

Use it like a jig hopping it off the bottom, but a bit quicker than you would a jig.

Uh, no. It won't work. Send them all to me.

It will work well. Have fun.

Fish dont think "hey why is that craw swimming that way with a shiner above it?" They see most baits as food in general and wont miss out in trying to eat it. If its in there lake and fits in their mouth its food

 

My lake has no craws and bass kill jigs. Trout swimbaits work great in lakes with no trout, etc. If its a color that the fish will see in the water parameters you have, go with it.
