The Strike King Rage Craw
The Strike King Rage Craw is a high-action powerhouse designed to provoke violent strikes from big bass. Featuring a unique, patented flange design on the tips of its claws, this bait displaces a massive amount of water and creates a distinct rhythmic vibration that fish can feel from a distance. Whether you are fishing in heavy stain or crystal-clear water, the Rage Craw’s aggressive swimming action and high-grade, salt-impregnated plastic make it an essential tool for any power-fishing arsenal.
Best Ways to Rig the Rage Craw
-
The Texas Rig: This is the most popular way to fish the Rage Craw in heavy cover. Use a 3/0 or 4/0 wide-gap hook and a heavy bullet weight to punch through grass or flip into timber, letting the flapping claws trigger reaction strikes on the fall.
-
The Jig Trailer: Transform any ordinary jig into a high-vibration weapon by threading on a Rage Craw. The aggressive kicking action of the claws makes it the perfect choice for swimming jigs through vegetation or dragging football jigs over rocky bottom.
-
The Carolina Rig: When bass are keyed in on crawling forage, the Rage Craw excels on a long leader. The buoyant properties of the claws keep the bait in a defensive "crawfish" posture as it drifts, making it a high-visibility target for deep-water fish.
Fishing Tips for Success
-
The "Burn and Kill": When fishing the Rage Craw as a trailer or on a weighted rig, retrieve it quickly to get the claws flapping, then suddenly stop. The abrupt change in vibration often triggers a trailing bass to strike instantly.
-
Vertical Flap Advantage: The Rage Craw is engineered to start kicking the moment it hits the water. Pay close attention to your line on the initial descent; many of the biggest bites occur because the claws are "swimming" as the bait falls vertically toward the bottom.
-
Low-Visibility Vibrations: In muddy water or thick vegetation, the Rage Craw's heavy water displacement acts as a beacon. The rhythmic thumping helps bass track the bait using their lateral lines even when they can't see it clearly, making it a top choice for murky conditions.
