Megabass Sleeper Craw, just 3 easy payments of $19.95. 😊

Looks awesome

Been watching you for the last 2 1/2 years. I have probably used all your secrets bait modifications and Randy they really work. I really love what you’re doing. Keep up the good work iam subscribed. I think that you are the best thing for guys that love to fish, but don’t have a lot of money for the equipment keep putting out those great videos Charles from Oklahoma. You’re 100% right about grand Lake.

The first time I noticed lures getting out of hand was the laser etched Live Target lures. $25 when they were released I think. Meanwhile my Bill Lewis Rat L Trap for $6 that’s been around for fifty years still catches more fish.

I knew that was coming! 👍👍

Looks killer 🔥

Definitely a Bass magnet, both Largemouth and Smallmouth. Walleye can't resist it either!

Looks good

Great looking bait need a sleeper lizard would be cool to great video thanks randy 👍

You had me at "weedless."

Just ordered some from bait WRX! Can't wait to try it

This is the show me state!! let’s see some videos with fish catches!!

That is a insanely cool hat!!

Another sleeper-style bait to add to the arsenal. They are super versatile. Have you noticed that every second commercial on Bassmaster Live is a livescope product advertisement?

What it is that I won't believe it does? Looks like the old R2S Standin Yabbi with a protected hook.

Nice addition to their Sleeper line. Would love to see some underwater or tank footage. Thanks for sharing!

Flat out catches big fish and is very durable. Can't say enough about it.

Lol weedless Ned rig elaztec imitation except triple the cost. SO revolutionary Great job megabass.

I like the hidden hook in the dark sleeper, and this sleeper craw. The only thing about the dark sleeper is the plastic is super collapsible, so I don't find it to be nearly as weedless as it claims to be. Hidden hook, yes. Weedless? Big no. SUPER realistic though.

Skips like a dream

Once on the St. Lawrence river I watched two 2 lb smallmouths shadowing an eel to snatch up any crawfish the eel kicked up.

My experience with internal lead in soft plastics is they dont age well. The lead starts to corrode and over time ruins the bait. This bait being some sort of elaztech formula may be different but I will let others be the field testers at that price point.

The Nikko craw is on point

That lure would definitely be killer in the saltwater. A whole bunch of species should fall for it. I bet it would be awesome under floating weeds or anything with mahi mahi underneath, way offshore, and it would be great in brackish water for snook. Cool lure. I like versatile stuff. The Megabass folks probably didn't think about using it for the saltwater, but lots of lures cross over.

Zman 1/8oz neko weight, push it into the end of the Zman Crawz and rig it with a 3/0 ewg hook. Same thing, doesnt cost $10 a pop

I bought 2 I will give it a try but honestly my favorite crawfish imitator is a Yum craw bug with Real craw fish attractant Largemouth Bass and Small mouth Bass cannot resist it .

I need to get me one of those! Today!!

To each their own. Some tools are just more fined tuned then others. Importing bait is just expensive in general doesn't matter from where beside sometime China. It's not uncommon to pay $20-$30 just for shipping from other countries just for an order. Shop local brands if you can't afford Japanese lures. Zman is ok but needs fine tuning as it's unnaturally buoyant. Fish might not always care but sometime little details can make a difference. I've had time when zman were top producers and other times when the fish didn't care for them. Can go both ways honestly. The fishing gods don't always want our offerings 😅. I can also guarantee you that American brand, zman is likely expensive overseas and you might not be able to get them depending on where you travel.

Why are the sleeper gills and dark sleepers not made of that same material ??? Tell them to change that Randy!!

Zman Pro CrawZ on Pro BulletZ jig is basically the same thing, just as weedless, and ya get so much more baits for your $$$$ Love me some #megabass but these will not make my arsenal as long as Zman makes those Pro CrawZ

I love my dark sleeper's and sleeper gills, but I'll likely pass on acquiring a few of these because I craft my own jig heads and craws with a floating plastisol blend at home. Thanks Randy!

Any rod recommendations for the sleeper craw? My normal jig rod seems a bit too heavy for it

What no underwater video?

$10 for just 1 though....huge Yikes considering it will not last long at all....legs can fall off and after the first fish the hook has already ripped the lure.

At $10 a pop, how durable is this craw fish lure? Does the body tear at the slit where the hook is? Do the claws really stay attached after a number of fish you catch?

Cut off the font pinchers and antena and fish it as a turd ned rig. Bet there is either no difference in hook ups or it improves it.

Too expensive. Not falling for this stuff anymore. I can do the exact same thing with Zman for way less.
