Heres something nifty you can do with a Yum Craw bug.   Turn it into a line-thru  craw.   Just insert a bullet weight, glue it, and use a two prong hook.

 

That is pretty cool. Looks like it would work well.

I like that!

I like it!  I'm going to pre-rig some of those with a swivel on the end!

hmm... great idea. I'll have to try it!

what size hook is that?

I have no idea...yet.

 

I took it off of a 2/5oz Daredevle. 

What is the advantage rigging this way? 

Why?

Guys, that is weedless like a frog and better profiled than typical Texas rig. It's more realistic all the way around and has 2 hooks. What's not to like?

Perhaps the lack of a weight banging onto rocks would be a detriment, but I like the hook scheme.

For the heck of it.

put in a jig rattle and that would solve the noise issue. I like the rig and already have a few scenarios i'm going to try it in.

I wonder if this would replicate the notorious bad hook up ratio of frogs if applied to crawbugs. Neat idea though.

Im sure there would be plenty ways to refine the idea.   

I forgot to mention that I trimmed off that tail nub thats underneath, so as to make the underside flat. 

Note:  I would also recommend trying to skin the hook points in some way.  At this point, nothing else secures the hook to he bait except tension on the line.  A slack line may allow the hook to dislodge itself. 

 

gotta work on that.

This has got my imagination going wild. I will be doing some experimenting with the idea myself. Thanks for sharing

Why?

why not?

different can really produce sometime.
