Best craws are used principally for catching predatory fish such as bass, largemouth bass, pike, catfish, muskie, striped bass, smallmouth bass and perch, and are particularly helpful in attracting fish as you begin your day out on the river.

When should you throw a jig?

Jigs shine best when imitating craws. Throw a jig around shallow wood cover, near docks, or anywhere else bass would be feasting on craws. Jigs, in my opinion, are also more suited for trophy hunting. The bigger, bulkier presentation is more likely to draw strikes from your new PB than a slimmer Texas Rig.

How do you retrieve a craw?

When the craw gets close to the rock, speed up your retrieve so the Texas-rigged bait will crash into the rock. Then let it sit next to the rock so the bass can move in for a closer look. If the fish turns away from the craw, reel in quickly and cast in front of the fish again and try the same presentation.

What attracts bass the most?

Although artificial lures are the most ordinarily used, good baits also include nightcrawlers and small shad or crayfish. Bass are known for being tough fighters when reeling them in. Largemouth bass are most attracted to the color red.

Do bass eat small bass?

Largemouth bass eat frogs, leeches, insects, baitfish like shad, minnows, and shiners, suckers, yellow perch, bluegills, and crayfish as part of their regular diet. Bass will also eat smaller bass, snakes, mice, ducklings, and even small turtles on rare occasions. Bass have a very non-discriminatory diet.

Are spoons good for pike?

It's true that spoons do a fine job of tempting pike into striking, but my experience with spoons suggests that these baits work best when fish are actively feeding. The wobbling and flashing action of a spoon requires a steady and fairly fast retrieve speed.
