Key design features

• 2.5-inch compact crawfish imitation ideal for Ned Rig applications
• Back tail is designed to pair with Half Head & Ned style jigheads
• Flat bottom allows bait to glide to bottom

• Soft, durable material yields life-like action and easier hookups

Rigging and use tips

• Use as a Ned Rig trailer with Half Head or Ned jigheads to maximize scent and movement
• Additionally, use as a trailer for small skirted jigs to add bulk and scent field
• Cast and slow-roll or let the bait glide to the bottom for a natural presentation
• Match natural colors to water clarity and forage for a cohesive look

In practical terms, anglers may experiment with a cadence that lets the flat bottom settle and then resumes a subtle retrieve to maintain contact with the bottom. The 2.5-inch size is versatile across several finesse presentations, and the soft texture supports lifelike action without adding excess resistance. This lure is built to withstand repeated casts and quick hookups, offering a reliable option when seeking consistent, responsive performance from a compact craw lure.
