Our 2.8" Beasty Bug Jr. is the perfect Finesse Ned Craw, to catch even the most finicky bass. In addition, the Beasty Bug Jr.'s claws float, so when used on a jig or neko rig they will maintain the defensive position, eliciting the strike. 

We use a medium grade plastisol to give it toughness when being skipped or placed through heavy cover, dragged along the bottom, or thrashed around in the mouth of a fish. This craw also has enough suppleness to give it the action needed to entice the bass into biting. 

Rod/Reel/Line: 6'6" Medium or Medium light spinning rod paired up with a 1500 or 2500 series spinning reel on 12 pound braid to a 6lb fluorocarbon leader

Rigging: The ideal rig we've found for these is Ned or Neko. On a Neko rig take a small 3/32oz tungston weight, insert into the tail, an o-ring around the body, and a 1/0 neko hook, thrown on 6lb florocarbon line. On a Ned rig simply thread the bait onto our Toadstool Ned head with the claws facing away from the jig head. Our customers have also seen success using them as a micro jig trailer.

Additional Rigging Options: 

Toadstool Ned Rig Head

Ned Rig Football Head

Split Shot

Jig Trailer

Neko

Texas

Carolina

Wobble Head

Flipping/Pitching

Tokyo Rig

ChatterBait Trailer

Swim Jig Trailer

Drop Shot

Free Rig

Retrieval: The key with this "craw" style bait is to mimic a craws behavior on any rigging shown above. On a Ned rig allow the bait to fall to the bottom on slack line and impart a pop with the rod tip, than another pop, pop, and allow the bait to fall on slack line. The drag technique is also good for cold water applications.

Durability: Medium, 3-5 fish/bait

Length: 2.8"

Bait Design: The body shape has 2 flanged claws, leading into a rounded ribbed body as it moves into the tail section which is solid.

Scent: Like all our baits they are heavily scented with our Phat Juice which is a Craw/Leech/Shad combination.

Salt: Light

Floating: Yes, Claws

Beasty bug jr.

These craws are are the best I've had yet for river smallies. Fished on a ned head is the way to go. The fish go crazy for them.

Phatjuice!!

I’ve used the Bitsy bug jr. By itself and as a jig trailer and it simply can’t be fished wrong!! I’ve caught multiple smallies and spots in the 3-5 lb range in just the few weeks since I got my order. My favorite way is on a weed less ned around rocks.

Yeah, our Beasty Bug Jr. in Natural Brown Craw is one of our most popular colors and is an excellent 'Match the Hatch' offering in most rivers and lakes, and ponds.

Seriously the best!

So I have used every craw on the market.. seriously, what makes this one so great is its size, the shape of the claws and the plastic is durable but you still get great action. The action is slightly subdued which is exact what is needed imo.. most craws have waaaay too much movement or not enough this one is perfect. I liked it so much I had him make me 250 of them in bama bug. I use it on my fav jig too.. fish catcher for sure

Our 2.8' Beasty Bug Jr. is a fish catcher, Check out the newly released 'Natural Green Craw'
