Description

The Backwater Crab 4” (19g) – Sunset Crab is a lifelike soft crab lure designed for inshore saltwater anglers chasing redfish, snook, tarpon, and sheepshead. Its natural crab profile, flexible legs, and weighted body combine to create a realistic crawling and defensive motion that draws strikes in shallow water. The Sunset Crab color features a warm orange-tan body with subtle red and gold flakes, mimicking the look of a crab in sand or grass flats at sunset. It reflects just the right amount of flash to stay visible in clear or stained water. Each lure is equipped with a hidden double-hook rig for a weedless presentation and perfectly balanced weight for long casts and a slow, natural sink rate. Work it slowly across oyster bars, mangroves, and channel edges for deadly results. Length: 4” (10 cm) Weight: 19 g (0.67 oz) Soft, durable plastic body Hidden double-hook rig for snag-free use Sunset Crab color with gold and red glitter Ideal for redfish, snook, tarpon, and sheepshead Best for inshore and nearshore saltwater

  • Weighted body for long casts and a slow, natural sink
  • Weedless hidden double-hook rig for snag-free presentation
