The magic of the Chigger Craw


Berkley released this bait a while back, although it has yet to catch on in our area. I discovered the Chigger Craw this past summer and it has become my numero uno go to bait. I have caught fish in 6 inches to 40 ft. of water on this bait. It is as versatile as any soft plastic on the market, yet has an action all of its own. It can be rigged on a Texas rig (my favorite) or used on a jig as an awesome trailer. I have yet to find a scenario that this bait will not produce fish. When fished fast, in a Yo-Yo or jigging fashion, it creates a plethora of water disturbance and looks like a fleeing craw fish. Given that craw fish spawn in the spring in this area, I can't wait to try this bait on bedding bass. Next time you are at your local tackle shop be sure to pick up this versatile lure. I promise there is no wrong way to fish it and you will not be disappointed at the results.

I really like the green pumpkin and watermelon. However, it really depends on water color. Check back later for an up coming article on what color softplastic to use when.
