Carolina Rig A Craw
When you talk about Carolina rigging, many anglers automatically think of a lizard, worm, or French fry as the typical offering. Carolina rigs present a bait slowly along the bottom – which is what makes the craw an ideal alternative to more typical offerings. In addition to being presented in a natural way, Carolina rigging a craw offers bass in heavily pressured waters a slightly different look which can be the difference between a good and great day on the water.

Shakey Head A Craw
If you’ve ever seen a crawfish flitting about in the rocks, you may have noticed that they swim by quickly, jetting up off the bottom, and then gliding back down. With the weight-down design of a shakey head, a crawfish can emulate this action almost exactly. Try quickly hopping one off the bottom in clear water and watch the action – it’s spot-on. The shakey head is another presentation where bass can get numb to the same old thing – in this case typically a finesse worm. By standing up off the bottom, the shakey head makes a craw look like it’s in an alert, defensive posture – which is enough to get even the most pressured bass riled up.
