One of my favorite soft plastics, my favorite for fish on beds. It's been near impossible to find since 2013. I've read rumors LF ceased production bc the patent was up. I've emailed them several times to ask what the deal was, but no response. Anyone have any inside info?

I've been using the big bites version and soaking it in LF crawfish aerosol scent. The baits look he same, the results are not. Maybe it's the fall rate, maybe it's a diff plastic with a diff buoyancy, whatever he case, it ain't as effective. I'm holding out hope the LF craw tube will make a comeback - lake fork still has it listed as one of their available products, but all are out of stock.

Ive used the Fork Secret and the Watermelon Xmas colors in a 4". I still have a few left over, but didnt know you couldnt get them. I have a few spots on Pomme that will get bit with these on most flips. How long has it been since production halted?

On a side note, another craw that has worked well for me over the past several years is the Gene Larew Salt Craw. the 5" Black Neon Chartreuse Biffle Craw is my go to nowadays. Bass Pro carries them.

try this guy....I have bought some from him in the past and the tubes are very soft with a very high salt content.....trust me I wouldn't steer ya wrong as I am possibly the biggest bait whore in St.Louis......I use those tube for the very same reason, these are quite similar......I have 5 pack of the LF 4 inch in Grn/Pmp but, now I'm worried

You can also get the same bait from Big Bite, as a house label from Barlow's, and a few others.

It is also good rigged stupid style or with a regular tube head for dragging smallmouth.

Also the scent u are using. Is it real garlic oil? that will also make a big difference. Believe me I've tried different scents on that bait and it has to be the real stuff to work like the LFs did. I just get the craws from Big Bite and add the scent.
