About this lure

The reins – Ring Craw Micro 1.5" is a specialised soft plastic creature bait designed for ultra-finesse presentations in New Zealand's freshwater and saltwater environments. This miniaturised crayfish imitation features air-filled claws that float upward when paused, perfectly mimicking the defensive stance of a small crustacean—a primary food source for wary predators.

Ideal for Light Rock Fishing (LRF) around wharves and rock pools, or targeting Perch and Trout in freshwater lakes, this lure excels when rigged on a micro jig head or drop shot. The ribbed body creates subtle vibrations and holds scent effectively, triggering strikes from fish focused on micro-prey.

Floating Claws – Air pockets keep claws raised in a defensive posture during pauses.
Ribbed Body Design – Increases water disturbance and holds scent for longer.
Ultra-Compact Profile – The 1.5" size is perfect for matching tiny hatch or crustacean forage.
Versatile Rigging – Effective on micro jig heads, drop shot rigs, or split-shot rigs.
Scent Infused – impregnated with shrimp scent to encourage fish to hold on longer.

How to work it

The Ring Craw Micro 1.5" excels on light jig heads or drop-shot rigs in shallow, confined spaces-wharves, rock pools, and lake margins.

Cast close to structure and work the lure with short, subtle twitches; the air-filled claws will float upward during pauses, mimicking a defensive crayfish. This pause-and-twitch rhythm is key: let it settle, then gently lift. Target aji, flounder, and trout by matching the 1.5" profile to micro-forage in the water column.

The 0.9 g weight keeps the lure in the strike zone without sinking too fast, ideal for finesse presentations around tight cover. Pair it with light spinning tackle and 2-4 lb fluorocarbon leader to maintain sensitivity and control. The ribbed body and shrimp scent encourage fish to hold on, so set the hook decisively when you feel a take.
