Walobaits at Charlie's Fishing: the Maramba Craw for finesse rigs and jig trailers

Walobaits is a Spanish lure brand that makes softbaits for predator fishing, with natural profiles, subtle movement and room for different rigs. At Charlie's Fishing we stock the Walobaits Maramba Craw 3", a compact craw softbait for perch, zander and black bass that you can fish on a Texas rig, a Ned rig, a Neko rig or as a trailer on a jig. Below you find what it is for and how to rig it.

Walobaits Maramba Craw 3": a compact craw softbait with shrimp scent

The Walobaits Maramba Craw 3" is a 7.6 cm craw softbait, seven pieces per pack. Fine, responsive claws and two long antennae keep moving on the drop, with small twitches of the rod tip and even while the craw rests on the bottom, so it keeps working when you fish slowly. The shrimp scent helps a fish hold on a little longer when it picks the bait up carefully, which gives you more time to strike. It comes in eight colours, from Olive Pepper, Green Pumpkin Red and Smoke Cinnamon Red to Red Wine, Cinnamon Purple, Shrimp, Special Red and Special Carrot. More in Craws & Creature Baits and Zander and Perch Softbaits.

How to rig the Maramba Craw

On a Texas rig with an offset hook and a sliding weight, the Maramba Craw comes through weed, branches and other cover where an open hook would snag. On a Ned rig over hard, sandy or gravel bottom it stands up with its claws in the air and fishes with short hops and long pauses. On a Neko rig, with a small weight in the head and the hook through the middle, it gives a subtle nodding action on the bottom. And because of its compact 3" size it also works as a trailer on a jig. Find heads, hooks and weights in Jigheads, Hooks and Rigs and Weights.

Which Maramba Craw rig for which situation

• Perch and zander over hard, sandy or gravel bottom: Ned rig with short hops.
• Fishing around weed, reed beds and sunken branches: Texas rig with an offset hook.
• Slow, subtle bottom fishing for wary fish: Neko rig.
• A compact trailer on a jig for perch, zander and black bass: Maramba Craw 3".
• Natural colours such as Green Pumpkin Red and Olive Pepper in clear water, brighter ones such as Special Carrot when you want more contrast. See Perch, Zander and Black Bass.
