Barracuda Baits 4.25" C-4 Speed Craw

•  

• Size & Profile: A beefy 4¼″ soft plastic cray imitation—bigger than their 3.5″ Speed Craw, designed to catch the eye of larger bass.

• Action: Large twin appendages deliver aggressive, water-pushing kicks with every hop and twitch—imitating an agitated, fleeing crawfish.

• Rigging Versatility: Effective on Texas rigs, Carolina setups, jig trailers, or as a standalone finesse bait for flipping and pitching into cover.

• Materials & Build: Premium plastic mix, hand-poured in Texas, designed for durability and repeated use in heavy cover situations.

Performance

• Flipping & Pitching: Large claws resist snags and maintain an enticing profile even in thick brush, laydowns, and grass mats.

• Jig Trailing: Use behind a swim triale or vibrating jig to enhance presentation with added movement and realism.

• Warm-Water Power: Given size and action, this bait excels in warmer months when bass chase larger forage.

• Pressure Water Weapon: The thumping action is especially effective around pressured fish—or when big bites are needed in tournament settings.

• The standard 3.5″ Speed Craw is a year-round staple, offering compact profile and versatility, but the 4.25″ version is tailored for more aggressive presentations and bigger bass.

1. Color Strategy: Start with green pumpkin or crawfish-natural colors for versatility; switch to black/blue in stained water or low light.

2. Hook & Weight: Use a 3/0–4/0 heavy wire hook with 1/4–3/8 oz bullet or mushroom weight—balance action and bottom contact.

3. Rig Pairings:

   • Carolina Rig: Let it glide and wobble along bottom – natural, enticing profile.

   • Jig Trailer: Boost swim jig swim­ability and bulk for bigger bites.

4. Trailer Additions: Consider adding rattles (e.g., Rattlin’ Randall) or scents like garlic or crawfish to enhance attraction in pressured or murky water.
