Overview
Designed to mimic the bite sized crawfish that all bass feed on, the Savage Gear Ned Craw applies Savage Gear’s pension for detail towards one of the hottest techniques in recent years. Perfect for pairing with the Savage Gear Ned Head Jig Head, the Savage Gear Ned Craw offers a hyper realistic crawfish profile and defensive posturing as it scoots along the lake floor. Available in a range of realistic craw colors, the Savage Gear Ned Craw utilizes a detail rich construction that shines in clear water and on pressured fisheries.
In an effort to create a series of highly effective soft plastics aimed specifically at ned rigging, Savage Gear analyzed every element of design, including materials, action, durability, and detail. Poured using a custom formulation of Duratech soft plastic, each bait in the Savage Gear ned series has been carefully infused with a precise amount of salt to elicit the desired buoyancy and action. Attacking every sense to ensure complete attraction, the Savage Gear ned baits are infused with an intoxicating scent that triggers a predatory reaction and aggression.

Comments: Very durable bait. I like them on the ned rig but they would be ideal on a dropshot as well. I will be using this on the heavily pressured Clear Lake bass this TOC season.

Comments: This is the best drop shop bait that I have ever used for Smallmouth around rocks or any lakes where they feed on Crawfish. The plastic holds up very well and I have had 1 plastic last for several days of fishing.

Comments: I like how they stand up when. Texas rigged

Comments: Purchased these due the life like appearance for smallmouth tournaments this year. I was very pleased to get them so quickly and how REAL they look. I'd like to see Savage Gear look into creating different colors for different regions since craw colors differ from region to region as well as seasonal changes. I think they have a real winner here! Can't wait to try them on my special ned heads I make! I will write another review when I see how they perform. Thanks!

Comments: So effective on a ned or football jig, so realistic, not just for bass. Caught redfish and weakfish, black drum, pretty much name it.

Comments: These are working very well for me fishing in the rivers. They are also very durable.

Comments: Highly realistic action, true to life colors to choose from. I have had great success with this craw fishing creeks. I have caught several Largemouth bass, Rock bass, Redeye bass & Shellcrackers and I'm still using the same bait, no tips or tears. I highly reccomend!

Comments: Paired these with the Savage Gear Ned jig head and absolutely killed it. The water was relatively clear so no need for a big exaggerated action. The bait stays perfectly upright on the bottom with a slight sway. The bass really inhale the 2.5 inch - only missed one all day. These are super durable - I caught a dozen bass in a 2 hour span on one craw with no damage at all - not even to the delicate looking pincers. This is a high quality product.

Comments: Nice bait, the head and craw worked great on river smallmouth.

Comments: Crushed them on these rigged Texas style pegged with a glass bead and thrown this summer against shoreline or in tall grass beds and the largemouth in Southern California just devoured them. Awesome action and looks real.

Comments: As a fishing Guide for Maine Smallmouth bass there are incredibly few options out there for a realistic and effective crawfish imitation that is actually correctly sized for our local forage (our crawfish that bass actively feed on are very small, only 1 1/2 - 2 1/2" long) These Ned Craws are spot on and don't have ridiculously large pincers that look nothing like the real thing and actually will turn bass off from taking them. Highly recommend these!

Comments: I just tried out the black and red on a dropshot. Caught a decent shellcracker, a small bass, and then a 4lber. All from the bank within about thirty minutes. Super durable, but using an Owner Covershot I had no issue with hookups.
