The biggest issue with throwing these crawfish imitating baits is knowing exactly which color to throw. Some baits are neon orange, others are transparent red. So how do you know which ones to try? It all comes down to water color and conditions. Pay close attention as Matt explains how to use each color to your advantage and when to switch between them.
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and sizes Matt discussed in the video. We’ve also included links to our favorite trailers and colors where applicable. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each lure.
