Craws & Creature Baits

Craws & Creature Baits – crawfish and creature baits for predator fishing

Craws and creature baits are essential softbaits for anglers targeting perch, zander and other predatory fish that feed close to the bottom. These lures imitate crayfish, insects and other bottom-dwelling prey and are extremely effective when the bite is tough or fish are under pressure.

At Charlie’s Fishing, a specialised predator fishing webshop based in the Netherlands, you will find a carefully selected range of craws and creature baits for modern anglers. From our Dutch warehouse we ship worldwide to anglers across Europe and beyond.

What are craws and creature baits?

Craws and creature baits are soft plastic lures with multiple claws, legs or appendages that create a natural and lifelike action underwater. They are mainly used for bottom fishing and for fishing around structure such as rocks, wood and vegetation.

These baits are commonly fished on Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, jig heads and finesse rigs such as the Ned rig. Their shape and movement keep them in the strike zone for a long time, making them highly effective for pressured or inactive predator fish.

Craws & Creature Baits for perch and zander

When targeting perch and zander, craws and creature baits are among the most effective types of soft lures. Especially when predators are feeding on crayfish or insects, these baits offer a highly realistic presentation.

In our predator fishing shop you will find proven models such as the Hooksport Repli Craw, a highly detailed crayfish imitation with subtle claw action. The Hooksport Flap Craw adds extra vibration and water displacement, while the Westside Fishing Larry The Lobster is a popular choice for both perch and zander fishing.

Finesse-oriented options like the Toppies Wormius and the Hooksport Curly Worm are perfect when a controlled, subtle presentation is required.

Creature baits for finesse and bottom fishing

Creature baits are often the solution when traditional lures fail to trigger bites. Realistic imitations such as the Chasebaits Smash Crab, Chasebaits Ultimate Squid and Chasebaits Curly Prawn 60 perfectly mimic natural bottom prey commonly hunted by perch and zander.

Compact softbaits like the Chasebaits Flacid Shad 7.5 cm also fit perfectly into finesse setups, where natural movement and minimal action make the difference.
