Name This Bait!

Featured Replies

My grandpa gave me this craw along with tons of other soft plastics. I'm in love with the color and shape of it. By slow rolling over rocks with the occasional pop pop I hammered the bass. Thank you

A picture would help a ton or at least a little bit of a description of the bait. There's a few different craw baits out there.

Not 100% sure but it looks a lot like the madman craws that used to be made.

I was a rep for Mad man and I would bet a hook that it is a Madman craw! Too bad that Madman went out. I still have many of there baits and still fish them. they had the best looking craw out there. The Craw Bug was a knock off the the Madman craw!

Yum Crawbug; my favorite soft plastic craw!

That is a Yum Craw bug, the reason I say that is I used those after the Mooneyham Mad Man Craw went out. The one difference is the antennae, the Man Man craw tube had longer ones and the color of the bait pictured is crawdad, a color Mad Man didn't have.

 

EDIT: I looked that the wrong picture, the Op's picture is a different color but it is still the Craw bug as the antennae are too short.

Yum crawbug in green pumpkin red Texas? Are they discontinued?

Try a River2sea standing yabbie.

 

Still have a pack of those... Interesting bait.

I believe that is either a Hula Popper or a broken tail Rapala.

You are wright,it is a Yum. But the Madman also had little spikes on the claws.

Yum or Madman? I would defer to Smalljaw67's post as he seems to know the subtle differences. Somewhere I have a plano box with a bunch of those in it that I do not use.

Thats a YUM Crawbug.

It's a YUM crawbug for sure. I have bags of both at home and looking at the two side by side, no doubt it's the YUM.

The Yum is almost an exact copy, I have had both and the only difference that stood out was the antennae, in the Yum version the antennae go just a tiny bit pass the claws and the mad man the antennae extended about 1/4" beyond the claws. 1/4" doesn't sound like a lot but on a 3" bait it is a noticeable amount, but if you didn't ever have both in your hand at the same time, you'd never know the difference, it makes me wonder if both were made off the same mold or someone had a mold made off the others product and they only changed the antennae.  The other difference was the plastic, the mad man seemed to be a bit softer but the Yum scent seemed to really work, that is until they switched to the F2 formula and then it was no longer any good but that is another discussion.

Looks a storm craw to me. Very similar to the yum.
