Salty and squirmy—just what bass like! Big chewy bodies, loaded with salt. Bass aren't about to turn down a meal like this! Known as a largemouth's dream meal, the Netbait Paca Craws produce an unbelievable action and are loaded with heavy salt, anise and pork fat. Swimmin', pitchin', floatin', these tasty morsels can do it all!

i saw a video on youtube where the guy just put his bullet weight right into the paca craw. does this work and if so,how big of a bullet weight? any help is appreciated.
Hi. I never tried to put a weight directly into the craw, but the craw is big enough to try. I just use the hooks with the worm weight already attached to the hook. I would rather than stuff the weight into the craw, try pushing a rattle into the craw , then use a Lucky strike finesse worm rig.
I fish the paca craw extensively and generally either swim it on a jig head or texas rig it with the weight exposed. Rather than put the weight in the body of the paca craw, I insert a 7mm glass tube rattle which gives the bait a natural clicking sound that is deadly.
I'm not sure what the benefit of putting the weight inside of the bait would be other than a cleaner presentation in pressured clear waters.
One of the downsides of this bait is that the pinchers get bitten off with short strikes so there would be a lot of retying if rigged that way.
yes this does work, im guessing bassallyear made the video you were thinking of, and if not this will still be how to do it. In the front of the paca craw there is a small hole where it looks like its mouth would be. Insert a rattle first if you are using one and if you aren't then insert the weight first. Between the first item you put in leave about as much space as the length of your bullet weight between the front of the paca craw and the first item. I would reccomend using a 1/16th ounce or a 1/8th ounce.
Color choice depends upon the water clarity and forage. The clearer the water, the more natural colors you'll want to use.
You'll also want to study the type of forage in your area. Try to determine what the natural crawfish and other forage colors are in your favorite fishing hole and go from there.
My favorites are Green Pumpkin, Watermelon, Black/Blue, Alabama Craw and Red Shad. If I'm on a crawfish bite, one of these colors will generally get the job done!
depends on water color in clear to stained watermelon and green pumpkin work well but in the muddier water baits with a black base (black neon/ black blue) work well
