Overview
Designed to be the ultimate flipping bait, the Gambler Burner Craw combines two of Gambler’s premier soft plastics into one big-bass-catching-machine. Responsible for a number of tournament cashes throughout Florida, the Gambler Burner Craw features a slender, ribbed body, which provides enough meat for large flipping hooks, yet is thin enough to slip in-and-out of tight spots.
Fitted with two prominent, J-shaped claws, the Gambler Burner Craws generates a frantic flailing action as it descends below matted vegetation. Infused with a potent dose of Gambler’s BITE scenting, the Gambler Burner Craw delivers compact performance that gets big fish “fired-up.”
“We took the body of the Why Not, which holds a big hook, and we took the tails off of the Burner Worm. It creates a lot of commotion going down in the water!” – Val Osinski, Owner of Gambler Lures/2015 FLW Rayovac South East Lake Okeechobee Champion

Comments: Excellent multipurpose bait. I usually fish the upper Mississippi River and as others have said, it works great as a punch bait. It has a thicker body, which holds a hook well when going through thick cover. I've also found it works great as a swim jig trailer. Shadow swirl is my go to color for dirty water. The kicking action on the claws is great, but you have to move it a little faster to get the claws kicking compared to a rage craw. The flip side is the plastic on the burner craw is tougher and holds up better for more fish per bait. If you're burning a swim jig for reaction bites like I do, you won't notice any difference in the action.

Comments: Outstanding summer punch bait. When everyone else is punching beaver style baits I can fish behind them and clean up with these. These, along with the Gambler Why Not (which uses the same main body) are without question the best punch baits on the market for the really nasty stuff. Holds a 5/0 hook very well and slips right through even heavy junk mats. Oh and the colors are of course spot on for here in Florida. Pretty much what you would expect from a Florida company owned by a guy who likes to flip and punch.

Comments: Great craw. I especially love it as a chatter bait trailer. It has great flapping action unlike any thing I have ever seen. It has helped me pull multiple 5+ pounders when other trailers would not even get a sniff.

Comments: Absolutely the best craw on the market IMO. Has great claw action. the garlic scent just adds to the attraction of the bait. Flip it, pitch it, or just a plain old Texas rig around light cover. The only craw bait I carry anymore. you are missing out if you do not have some of these Burner Craws

Comments: Wonderful flippin' bait! I flip it on a Trokar monster flip hook 5/0. Incredible action and extremely durable scent even out of pack! I'm from Italy and I flip this craw for bass and catfish!

Comments: These are amazing. I love the way they smell too. When nothing else is getting a bite these do. I have caught as a jig trailer & texas rigged.

Comments: Great Multi Purpose Bait! Like this a texas rigged craw or flipping bait but LOVE it as a jig trailer. Flipping jigs, swim jigs, chatterbaits, it comes to life. I have one on the back of my crazy jigs or vibrashocks. Bounce the bottom and get bit.

Comments: used the burner craw last weekend and loved everything about it. Holds a hook great. Doesn't take much to get the legs to kick. I flipped heavy cover with a 1.5 tungsten weight. I also trimmed it down a little a used it as a swim jig trailer. This will replace 100% of my speed craws. Gambler hit it out of the ball park with this bait.
