Just got my 2021 Bass Pro master catalog...this one looks good @Champ188 it’s only 2” long

Sorry I just saw someone else posted it

Thanks, Mitch. Appreciate the post. I would love the little Yum Ned Craws except the colors SUCK, especially the green pumpkin. Remember the little army men we all used to get in plastic sacks of 50? That's the color of their GP. It's opaque and looks kind like baby spit-up. Great mold, just need to step up the color game.

The green pumpkin with black flake looks the best to me.

Lurecraft has a mold for a sub 2” craw.

If I were going to imitate one craw from Missouri, it would be the Golden Craw. It’s very difficult to make this color happen without painting, markers, or hand pouring.

Agreed 100% and this thread makes me laugh 😆 

Too many little craws that suck!!! I’ve used them all and bought them all and I know what works for me and that’s all I need to know. Mitch and I have run the gamut on this one like 10 times over before and the equation has the same answers every time lol

Well I break them down like this..... actual craw

             Actual craw trailer 

actual craw) 1) you guys won’t like it but, because of our design we put in to the HD craw I like that one the best as it will never allow your jig to turn or roll but, some of you have complained about the thickness of that caw and I get that.

2) jewel baits finesse craw, you can cut off the end to your desired length and they work well.

3) Arizona Custom Baits limit out craws. Once again you can cut the end to your desired length, these look kinda pedestrian but the plastisol they used is awesome and the action shows on these 😉

4) wave worm Tiki Crawdude, these are a craw on a worm again but, you can cut it down to your size and they work killer.

next group: actual finesse craw trailers 

1) Conquistador Finesse Pro trailers. Great colors and contrast of colors but lots of salt which will make your trailers very weak. These are a great trailer though. 
2) These could be the best trailers I use Xcite baits Raptortail Chunks. These are just an awesome finesse sized trailers just get some and see, they ROCK.

3)BizzBaits Killer Craw, people probably laugh at this one but, time in and time out these are great smaller trailers for me and I fish finesse jigs pretty often.

4) Lunker Hunt Finesse Craw, as usual you can cut them to size and they work really good. 

Champ these are some and I was being as honest as could without playing any favorites just which ones work the best in finesse jig situations. I hope you nail some hawgs and I would love to see the jig 😎

Here is the Two finesse jigs I use primarily and One is tied by MOsmallies from this forum and the other by Lawson Hibdon. Both are 5/16 and are different style heads but, both pair very very well with all the above mentioned craws and trailers and just flat out catch fish..... these are true fish catchers for over pressured fish 🙂

Unfortunately for me I only fish for fish that have beat up 7 ways to Sunday so I have to finesse most of the time.

Both of those trailers are excellent. Conquistador has been doing it for quite a while.

This little guy in the green pumpkin orange is a great bait on a finesse jig or on a slider head. My oldest son caught his biggest bass to date on it fishing it on a slider head when he was only 4 the first time I took him on a day trip with me.

Agreed. I'm lucky that both him and his younger brother like going. He's been fishing since he was 2 and he's 7 now, so he pretty much considers himself a pro 😆
