The NetBait HardyTack Craw is a soft plastic crawfish bait engineered to move and behave like a living crustacean in the water. Designed by Jim Hardy and Braxton McNaughton, this 8-bag pack of Magic Craw colored baits delivers the natural appearance and action that bass and other predators instinctively strike. Whether you're working shallow flats, creek channels, or rocky structure, the HardyTack Craw's realistic profile and swimming motion make it a dependable choice for both sight-fishing and blind casting scenarios.
The standout feature is its twin-tail design paired with a reference bubble positioned three ribs from the tails—a built-in indicator that shows you exactly where to thread the hook for optimal action. Rigged this way, the tails swim freely beneath the body, mimicking the natural undulation of a real crawfish. This dual-action setup gives you lifelike movement without requiring a jig head, though the bait pairs exceptionally well with a bare Paca Bug or a half-dressed Paca Bug for a balanced presentation.
HardyTack Craws aren't locked into one rigging method. Trim the appendages to convert it into a swim jig trailer for active presentations, a traditional craw trailer for subtler swimming action, or a punch bait for dense cover and heavy vegetation. That versatility means one bait handles multiple situations and bite conditions, reducing the number of plastics you need to carry.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I rig the HardyTack Craw for best results?
Thread the hook through the bubble that sits three ribs from the twin tails. This allows the tails to swim freely beneath the body and create natural crawfish-like movement. Pair it with a bare Paca Bug or a half-dressed Paca Bug for ideal balance and action.
Can I use the HardyTack Craw as a jig trailer?
Yes. You can easily pull off the appendages to convert it into a swim jig trailer, a traditional craw trailer, or a punch bait, depending on your target water and presentation preference.
What does the bubble on the bait indicate?
The bubble positioned three ribs from the twin tails is a hook placement guide. It shows you exactly where to thread the hook to achieve the proper action and allow the tails to swim naturally beneath the body.
