RX Skeleton Craw

Description

The RX Skeleton Craw is a handcrafted soft plastic craw bait built to displace water and trigger bites — and those oversized claws do exactly that on every fall and every retrieve.

That tight thump on the drop followed by the wide kick on the pull-through is what I designed this craw around. The full-body rib structure isn’t just cosmetic… it traps scent, moves water, and gives fish something to feel. When they bite it, they hold on.

The 5.25″ profile is big, and that’s the point. Bass don’t always want small. When spotties are sitting on the bottom and they want something with real presence, this is what I tie on — and it gets eaten just as hard at 5.25″ as anything smaller. Calico bass and sand bass respond to it the same way, especially when they’re holding on deeper structure.

I fish this on a Texas rig pitched to pylons, jika-rigged in current, and flipped into tight structure. It also works as a trailer on the Cheapskate when I want something with more body and fall action behind the blade. A go-to for spotted bay bass, calico bass, and sand bass in SoCal harbors and back bays.

How to rig it: Texas rig on a 6/0 EWG hook with a 1/2oz bullet weight for pitching and flipping. Jika rig in moving current when you want it to hang and wave in the strike zone. I use Blacktail Fishing 6/0 EWG hooks for both setups.

Made in Los Angeles in small batches.
