Title: soft plastic Claw
Post by: senkosam on 07/31/21 11:18 UTC

Take note the different bodies #1. Guess fish are more in tune with those pointy little claw tip twitching up and down.

All of these saved photos are reminders that:
Color is secondary to lure action. (BTW I just found out that all black works great!)
Different bodies can be attached.
Different claw sizes work though I stay with med. to lg.
As stated, many species go nuts attacking this and other mod design most months of the year.

In the upper pictures...what mold did those pointed claws come off of?

I don't own a craw mold. Those are from the 50 or so pre-made lures I've owned for over 10 years and never used.
Most likely they would have caught bass but now I know the claw part is amazing when added to various lure segments - especially the French Fry stick.

I also use the claws from this BigBiteBait tube craw and save the tube.
In all cases, the claw has a flat side which makes it thinner than other craw lures sold.
