The Kicker Fish Bait Co. has recently added another exciting new item to its already successful arsenal of bass-fishing products. Although plastic crawfish are not new to the fishing scene, the new Kicker Kraw has some design characteristics that make it very unique.

The 4 1/4" body is solid – a characteristic that keeps it from balling up on hooksets – and it has segments from tip to tail (pincers) for catching air and scent. The head of the bait has a defined, tapered point for better penetration in heavy cover. In our tests, the tentacles caught air and provided a lifelike appearance. A new 3 1/4" model is also in the works and will be available in the next few weeks.

This bait is perfect for flipping and pitching. The pointed head allows a weight, when pegged, to fit snugly against the bait, which makes hooksets more efficient. Specially designed fins near the top of the bait guide it on the fall, which makes it look more natural and helps the bait swim without twisting. It flat-out will not turn over.

The pinchers also float up in an attack position when dead-sticked. Extra-large, slim-line pinchers placed two segments from the tentacles keep it from tangling with the tentacles. And the serrated claws with ribbed edges really put out the vibration. This bait can be fished with either a 4/0 or 5/0 hook, and the 3 1/4" model will be best fished with a 3/0 or 4/0.

The Kicker Kraw can be fished weightless too, and because of its very large pinchers, will actually fish like a buzzbait over grass, through pads and over flotsam for exciting blow-ups.

The Kicker Craw also makes a great jig trailer and we particularly like that it comes in 10 colors (our favorites are camo and junebug). Each bag contains eight baits.
