The ubiquitous crayfish, serving as a quintessential prey item for bass populations from Florida to California, assumes a pivotal role in many anglers’ pursuits. From pre-spawn to post-spawn, the all-new LIVETARGET Craw represents a significant advancement in the realm of creature baits, distinguishing itself through its unparalleled capacity to elicit strikes from largemouth and smallmouth bass across various habitats.

Leveraging state-of-the-art Injected Core Technology (ICT), the LIVETARGET Craw heralds a transformative departure from conventional soft-plastic lure design. This innovative technology seamlessly integrates lifelike anatomical features—such as a segmented body replete with intricate textures and ridges, augmented by meticulously rendered claws, legs, and even the discernibly sharp eyestalk—within a dynamic inner core. The unique injection laminate process further enhances the inner core with intricately layered metallic hues encapsulated within a robust, transparent exoskeleton.

The fusion of a detailed inner core with a translucent outer layer not only provides the LIVETARGET Craw with exceptional realism but also ensures its superior functionality. ICT guarantees that the lure exhibits unmatched action, enticing bass with its natural appearance under conditions of sparse natural forage, heightened angler pressure, or when fish are conditioned to specific bait presentations.

Available in two sizes—2.8 inches and 3.8 inches—the LIVETARGET Craw offers unparalleled versatility in depth, speed control, and fishability. Rigging this ultra-realistic craw imitation is both straightforward and versatile, facilitating effortless hook concealment and optimal hook penetration upon a strike. Featuring a body of optimal thickness to securely accommodate a heavy-gauge flipping hook, yet not impeding hooksets, the lure’s unique appendages induce pronounced kicking and quivering motions with minimal angler input, mirroring the sedentary and defensive postures innate to live crayfish, whether punched, jigged, or presented on a Texas rig. Moreover, its distinctive profile permits anglers to rig it with the tail folded under the hook, enhancing displacement during retrieval and providing a flat surface for accommodating a bullet weight or jighead.

Whether navigating a secluded pond or a sprawling reservoir, astute anglers are advised to vigilantly monitor their line as it falls. On the descent, the bait takes a defensive posture with the claws rising and waving as it sinks. A sudden jump or twitch in the slack line often heralds a strike, as the LIVETARGET Craw is frequently intercepted before reaching the substrate.

With its combination of ICT inner core and exoskeleton, the LIVETARGET Craw epitomizes a harmonious blend of softness and durability, capable of withstanding repeated catches without tearing or compromising its vibrant coloration. Available in twelve distinct color variations and two size options, the LIVETARGET Craw stands unrivaled in its realism and attraction. Pair the 2.8 with a 2/0 Mustad AlphaPoint Assault Wide Gap hook and the 3.8 with a 5/0. Sold unrigged with a MSRP of $7.99.
