I'm wondering if I can fish the Rage Tail Chunks and Craws as topwater toads? Their action on a Rage Rig is awesome, and I'm wondering if I can cast AND retrieve on the surface 9with a smaller wighted hook) as a finesse toad? They are thinner than conventional toads, and the 3"  Rage Tail Chunk might be good as a finesse lure.

Yes, but you might find the Rage Shad to be a better choice:  http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/5-pk-strike-king-3-rage-tail-shad-lures?a=966208&srccode=cii_10043468&cpncode=37-173156987-2&pm2d=CSE-SPG-15-SZLA&utm_medium=cse&utm_source=shopzilla&utm_campaign=CI

Or the Rage Toad 

 

Yea ya can!

I fish the Lobster on top all the time!

Yes you can I've used the craw and space monkey this way, both a bit more subtle than the toad and shad.  Fish them on a keel weight hook and reel just just fast to keep on surface, I like 1/8 and 1/4 the best.

Don't see no sign on the package saying you can't.

No, you cannot.  The fish say it's against the rules. 

I've had fish hit a rage craw on top when swimming it back to the boat. Let the fish tell you what they want. ?

You can definitely fish them like that. Check out the yum christie craws, cheaper, more durable, and better action than the rage baits imo. 

Space Monkey on top is awesome, give it a try! My son catches 'em on a weightless Craw all the time. 

I've gotten quite a few fish off the rage craw burning it over top of topped out eel grass.. I use it on a weighted swimbait hook.. It's versatile in the sense that I can let it fall in the big open pockets but when I'm up on top of the grass it has a nice sputtering action to it.. Pretty sure the bass don't get a good look at it to identify it's a crawdad and just hit it as a reaction strike before it gets away.. 

When I wade creeks for smallies, I will often have a weightless (or lightly weighted) Zoom Speed Craw T-rigged on a spinning rig or baitcaster with light line, and I will fish it on the top-middle and bottom that way.....and it will usually catch a few fish at each level all on the same day!!

Any plastic that will flap a little on the surface can be fished on top like a buzzer or toad, and the craws give a much better hook-up % IMO. 

I have much better results using a rage craw then a rage toad I think it's just a little too much action sometimes.
