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.
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

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.

Good baits. Great action
Great little bait ready for the large one two hit the market thanks
If you’re looking for a craw bait that stands straight up this is it. I fish this on a Ned head as well as a jig trailer on finesse jigs. Hopefully they come out with a bigger size for flipping and full size jigs. Great bait and great colors.

Great bug design that is working well this winter as both a trailer and finesse presentation. Photo's Pak plastic texture is excellent for action and durability.
