Yum Wooly Bug F2 3.25" Crawdad

The Yum Wooly Bug F2 3.25" Crawdad is a creature-style soft bait built to trigger aggressive strikes from bass hunting crawdad meals. This lure combines a ribbed beaver-style body with realistic claws and Yum's signature beavertail design—a profile that mimics natural prey and moves with the kind of action that gets attention. At 3.25 inches, it's sized for a wide range of bass, from smallmouth to largemouth in most freshwater conditions.

The Wooly Bug works best around structure where crawdads naturally hide: rocky banks, fallen timber, laydowns, and weed edges. Bass hunt these areas expecting to find a meal, and the combination of body texture and claw action delivers both visual and tactile stimuli that feel genuine. Whether you're flipping into thick cover, dragging it along the bottom, or working it slowly through shallow feeding zones, this bait's design keeps it in the strike zone longer and gives fish a reason to commit.

Rigged on a jig head, drop-shot, or Texas rig, the Wooly Bug becomes a go-to option when bass are keyed on crawdads rather than shad or other forage. Its proven profile has earned trust with anglers across different regions and seasons, making it a solid choice to keep in your soft bait rotation.
