About this lure

The reins Ring Craw Mini 2.5" is a compact yet highly effective crustacean imitation designed to trigger aggressive strikes from bottom-feeding predators. Engineered with a buoyant material composition, this soft bait allows its claws to float upward in a defensive stance when paused, perfectly mimicking a small crayfish or crab defending itself on the seabed—a presentation that New Zealand Snapper and Trevally find difficult to resist.

Infused with a heavy salt concentration and a potent shrimp scent, the Ring Craw Mini ensures fish hold on longer, giving anglers more time to set the hook. Its ringed body and restless appendages create subtle micro-vibrations even when the lure is stationary, making it an exceptional choice for light game applications, rock fishing, or finesse presentations in estuaries.

Length	2.5" (6.35cm)
Weight	3.3g
Scent	Shrimp Scented
Buoyancy	Floating Claws

Floating Claws – The claws float upward when stationary, mimicking a defensive crayfish stance to trigger predatory instincts.
Heavy Salt & Scent – Impregnated with shrimp scent and salt to mask artificial cues and encourage longer bite retention.
Ringed Body Design – Ribbed texture creates water displacement and micro-vibrations that attract fish from a distance.
Compact Profile – The 2.5" size is ideal for matching the hatch of small crabs and crustaceans found in NZ harbours and rocky shorelines.
Versatile Rigging – Excellent for use as a jig trailer, on a Ned rig, or light Texas rig for targeting Snapper, Trevally, and Perch.

How to work it

Fish the Ring Craw Mini 2.5" on light tackle-spinning or baitcasting rods paired with 4-8 lb monofilament or fluorocarbon. Cast near structure, rocky ground, or estuary edges where aji, trout, and flounder hunt.

Work it with short, subtle twitches or let it sit on the bottom; the buoyant claws will float upward in a defensive posture, mimicking a crayfish or small crab. Pause frequently to let the ringed body and appendages create micro-vibrations that trigger strikes.

The 3.3 g weight sinks slowly, ideal for finesse presentations in shallow to mid-depth zones.
