The Paca Craw is a soft bait designed to imitate a crayfish. This artificial crayfish from Netbait with a length of 12.5cm has established itself as an absolute reference among all crayfish imitations for fishing, particularly for hunting black bass.
Part of the iconic Netbait range, the Paca Craw continues the tradition of excellence in American soft lures. Its realistic crayfish profile and exceptional mechanical properties make it an essential that has proven itself on all bodies of water, from French ponds to large American reservoirs.
The soft plastic mixture developed by Netbait gives the 12.5cm Paca Craw an ideal flexibility that combines:
- Resistance to tearing even after numerous catches
- Calibrated density for a natural descent
- Realistic texture that perfectly mimics a crayfish's shell
- Optimal flexibility allowing the appendages to move at the slightest movement
Each Paca Craw is deeply impregnated with BaitFuel attractant, a scientifically formulated compound that activates fish's olfactory and taste receptors. The scent cloud gradually diffuses into the water, creating an attraction zone that guides predators to the lure, even from a distance and in murky waters. When the fish bites, the tasty lure encourages the fish to hold the lure in its mouth for a few extra seconds, giving you precious time to hook effectively. In cold water, high fishing pressure, listless fish... the BaitFuel attractant often makes the difference when predators are less active and shun traditional lures.
The lateral appendages generate wide beatings and significant water movements, even during slow animations or simple pauses where the claws continue to ripple naturally under the influence of the current or descent. Placed on the bottom, the Paca Craw remains alive thanks to its appendages that quiver at the slightest water movement, mimicking a defensive crayfish.
Rigs and fishing techniques:
- Texas Rig: the main configuration with a weight ranging from 7 to 28g depending on the depth and the wind, this rig allows to efficiently explore weeds, dead wood and cluttered structures. The Paca Craw slips through without snagging while transmitting its attractive vibrations.
- Carolina Rig: to prospect larger widespread areas, distanced from 60 to 120cm from the weight.
- Jig trailer: perfect combination for scratching rocky bottoms and imitating a fleeing crayfish. The jig's rebounds naturally animate the appendages. In swim jig, the Paca Craw adds volume and beats during linear swimming in shallow weeds.
- Weightless: in the total absence of weight, the Paca Craw descends slowly, fluttering naturally, ideal for shallow waters and suspended fish.
- Dropshot: although unconventional, this rig allows to maintain the Paca Craw suspended above the bottom, its appendages quiver at the slightest pull.
- Neko Rig: with a weighted nail inserted into the head, it takes on a fascinating vertical posture, the claws beating upwards like a defensive crayfish.
