FishUP Real Craw is a realistic crawfish imitation designed for bottom fishing and targeting structure-oriented predators. The detailed body shape and natural claw movement make FishUP Real Craw highly effective for zander, perch and pike, especially in pressured waters and during colder periods.
FishUP Real Craw starts working with minimal rod movement. The wide claws move naturally on the drop, creating a lifelike presentation that imitates a fleeing crawfish. Subtle leg vibrations stabilize the lure during bottom contact, making it extremely convincing when jigged or slowly dragged along hard structure.
FishUP Real Craw performs best when fishing for zander on rocky bottoms, riprap, gravel flats and areas rich in natural forage. The 2 inch size is perfect for perch fishing and finesse presentations, while the 2.5 inch version offers a slightly bigger profile for selective zander and opportunistic pike.
FishUP Real Craw is highly effective in classic jigging with 7–25 g jig heads, Texas Rig for fishing in heavy cover and Carolina Rig for covering larger bottom areas. The lure responds instantly to sharp lifts but also excels in slow bottom dragging when fish require a more natural presentation.
Choose FishUP Real Craw when predators ignore traditional shads and paddletails. A realistic crawfish profile is especially productive in cold water, during high angling pressure and whenever fish focus on bottom-dwelling prey. It is an excellent choice for anglers targeting quality zander and active perch feeding close to the bottom.
Which species is FishUP Real Craw best for?
FishUP Real Craw is primarily designed for zander and perch, but the larger size can also attract pike.
Is FishUP Real Craw suitable for heavy cover?
Yes, when rigged on a Texas Rig it allows effective fishing around rocks, wood and other bottom structures.
