Description

The Deps Spiny Craw features a fat body with a hollow air pocket and flutter arms covered in bumps that exhibit a tight vibration during the fall and while swimming. The countless bumps that cling to the water throughout the body create spontaneous action when left still and pose an unparalleled presence that appeals to bass. Furthermore, the powerful kickback wave that it displays when it falls over while trapping air in its head is extremely effective against big bass. The "Spiny Craw" is constructed to give it a form that resembles crustaceans, a favorite of many predatory fish while the ultra-soft material, which boasts increased tensile strength and excellent hook retention, contains 20% salt and is infused with crustacean flavor to attract bass with its taste and scent. The hollow air pocket located at the top of the body traps air and, after hitting the bottom, amplifies the water displacement wave created by the lure's tipping action. In the reaction jig method, the kickback vibrations created by the flutter arms realistically imitate fleeing crustaceans, enticing reactionary bites. 8 Per Pack

Field Notes

Rig the Spiny Craw on a reaction-jig setup and let it fall to the bottom, where the hollow air pocket and flutter arms create kickback vibrations. Use it when bass are keyed on crustaceans and you want a reactive, falling-and-swimming presentation that triggers reaction bites.

  • Hollow air pocket amplifies the kickback/water-displacement wave
  • Salt-impregnated, crustacean-flavored material supports attraction and hook retention

Cons

  • No size/weight info provided for matching jig head weight
