So far, the baits of this type that are on my radar are

 

Rage Bug

BPS Swim-N-Elite Chunk

Zoom Z Hog

 

What others are in this category that I might not be aware of?

The zoom ultravibe speed craw may not be subtle but it is small. Good bait. The zoom lil critter craw is a small, realistic craw imitation that does well.

Thanks, I forgot about the Ultra Vibe Speed Craw. I have a pack of those.

The Rage Menace is money. Makes a great finesse jig trailer as well. 

Yum Christie Craw is money+ !

Netbait paca chunk 

Xzone stealth finesse craw

Berkley chigger bug

Rage scounbug

Gambler BB Cricket......I live and die by this bait....lol...... seriously.......

A Rage Bug is lovely but not exactly subtle, nor exactly craw.

 

XZone finesse craw is nice. 

 

If you want a subtle craw profile, OSP Dolive Craw is king. They're almost worth the $11 a pack that US retailers ask. Much more reasonable from Japan. 

Strike King Rage Lobster, and Magnum Rage Bug, but I live south of the boarder and have been told my idea of small and subtle may be different than other anglers. 

The 3.3" kicker bug from evergreen is my current favorite, lots of very subtle movement.  Gives me confidence in clear water fisheries.

Tons of craw baits (including craw like creatures) available, I’d recon the second most only to the basic worm.  But I wouldn’t call a rage bug subtle or small.  A normal sized rage bug with the legs and claws separated makes quite a ruckus underwater.  Based on some of your other posts, I think you probably actually do want a smaller and more subtle plastic. The crush city cleanup craw is pretty small (a good bit smaller than a rage bug) and modest in action.  The rage bug mini at 3” is more subtle than the standard and the midi at 3.5” isn’t bad either.  Don’t separate all of the appendages if you need more subtle.  The smaller chigger craw and the Christie craw are more options. The baby dbomb is the other beaver type to try.

Yeah, when considering the rage bug I wasn't considering the action as much the size and shape. I haven't studied it underwater.

I appreciate all the suggestions everyone.

There are so many on the market it can be overwhelming.  My favorite subtle small craw is the 2.5' Ring Craw, but there are many other good ones.

Reins Bubbling Craw (awesome free rig bait)

Damiki Air Craw

Xzone stealth craw

GYCB Fat Baby Craw

Biwaa Armored Craw

Yum (formerly Gene Larew) Salt Craw and Hammer Craw

XZone Adrenaline Craw (Looks more like a creature bait, but they call it a craw)

Bizz Baits Bizz Bug Craw

 

Someone, I think @WRB-2.0posted a picture of a craw/beaver hybrid bait. Wish I could find it as I’ve forgotten what it was called.

Zoom Z craw

Smallie Beaver 3.5" has been my #1 creature bait for 20 years. Caught so many fish on this bait including a 7.2 LM.

The Googan Krackin craw is pretty good despite the company's unpopularity with alot of people.

If you want a true craw bait not a trailer the great lakes finesse juvy craw is excellent.

Bought a couple packs but haven’t used them yet. 3.5”

 

Not sure if I’m going to free rig (original plan) or neko rig them.

 

Either way they look awesome.

How about the strike king rage tail scounbug?

 

Yamamoto 2 1/2” Twintail Hula grub on Ned/Mushroon jig.
