How to work it
The TRD CrawZ is a compact crawfish imitation best fished on light rigs-Ned rigs, finesse jigs, and micro Texas rigs-in freshwater and light saltwater.
Cast near structure, vegetation, or the bottom and work it with short, subtle hops or a slow drag; the buoyant claws float at rest, creating a natural defensive posture that triggers strikes from bass, bream, flathead, trout, estuary perch, and mangrove jack.
Its tucked-under tail and flat belly produce a gliding action on the drop and during pauses. Keep tension light and let the lure's lifelike legs and antennae do the work. The 2.5" size and ElaZtech durability make it ideal for repeated casts in snaggy areas without tearing.
