Soft Baits Craws & Creatures

Soft baits like Craws and Creatures are a great choice when fish ignore baitfish imitations or when there’s an abundance of natural forage in the water. They excel during slow retrieves in colder months using techniques such as the Carolina Rig or Drop Shot. They also work extremely well as trailers on Chatterbaits and skirted jigs. Frogs rigged on offset hooks are ideal for fishing through vegetation.

For jighead fishing, we especially recommend the KEITECH Crazy Flapper—available in a variety of colors and sizes, perfect for targeting nearly all predatory species.

For Carolina rigs and other finesse techniques, consider the O.S.P DoLive Craw or the shrimp imitation O.S.P DoLive Shrimp—both offer incredibly natural movement underwater, as shown in our underwater demo videos.

For fishing in weedy areas with offset hooks, we also recommend the KEITECH Noisy Flapper, which has proven particularly effective when targeting pike.

When used as a trailer for Chatterbaits, smaller sizes of the KEITECH Crazy Flapper and the purpose-built KEITECH Flex Chunk are excellent options.
