An option available locally is the Strike King Rage Craw or the Googan Krackin Kraw. Both are bulky 4-inch models and will do the job as a big jig trailer. 

I use the Rage Craw as a trailer quite a bit, it works.  If you want to upsize you can go to the Rage Lobster too.

A few months ago I ordered the Nicholas Craws from Venom Lure Company.   I looked at the Nicholas web site and they didn't have the craws available so I called them and they said Venom Lures took over this product line from Nicholas.   Sounds like there was some connection with Venom and Nicholas previously.   They are the same craws that Nicholas had and I like them on a 5/8- 3/4 oz. football jig.   They call them "Dream Craws".  They are 4.25 inches.   I like the green pumpkin copper glitter.   Hope this helps.

Brennan, it's actually Nichols Lure Co.-I assume that is the craw you are talking about.    Go to Venom Lure Company to get them.

Never use green pumpkin/copper on Table Rock. Total waste of time, money and energy. Can't believe you'd steer these fine folks wrong. 😆😂

Just got back yesterday from fishing 5 days up at Mille Lacs. Targeting big smallies. We struggled but caught a few 3.5 lbers and several 2.5 lbers. Beautiful fish. Tiger stripes so pronounced! Beautiful country. And good to get out of the heat. Had to put my fleece on a couple of times. 62 when we left. 95 by the time we hit Des Moines.!! I do love the brown fish!!

Did you see what it took for the Toyota series on the St Lawrence river?  15 fish almost 78 pounds. Geez.

yea unbelievable. same bag size that Fieder won up at Mille Lacs a couple of years ago. These guys are culling 5 lb smallies!! I watched the video of Yokamuri, is that his name? Good guy. He said, "i got a school of 100 plus 5 lbers right under my boat! Smallmouth easy!!

Chris Johnston Wins Toyota Series Event on St. Lawrence River - Major League Fishing

He says he ran hundreds of miles during the course of the event, he deserves the money 🙂

Canadian border is now open. I think he went to lake Ontario at least 2 days. Lots of these guys the last two derby's ran 90 plus miles each way. 

I believe I read somewhere they only fished 2-3 hrs. the rest was drive time.
