Swimming Cray

Attachment 14123


The Swimming Cray is designed to mimic a swimming juvenile crayfish. Unweighted, it is most effective cast down and across in shallow tail-outs, swing to the end, then retrieved back upstream in slow short strips. Originally tied for the Big Pine, where it did very well on both trout and smallmouth, it has since proven itself throughout many smaller limestone waters also.
