Larry Dahlberg Clackin Crayfish

[stumpy041486]

Has anyone tried this bait yet? Does it work as good as it looks? How long do the trailers typically last?

I was wondering the same thing. They seem kind of large.

There were a few posts before the crash.These were the main problems,
-lure would sometimes sink and land upside down
-users battled to get the crayfish to swim in the way shown on the video clip.
I don't know if these issues were resolved
A smaller version of the Dahlberg crayfish/frog is also on the way shortly.

the crayfish sucks, it doesnt swim right at all, and it gets hung up extremely easily because the thing flips upside down on almost every cast....

the frog on the other hand is one of the best frogs I have ever used. you can pop it, swim it, make it dive, Its very versatile and worth the money...

save yourself 12 bucks and buy some crayfish plastics

I purchased one last week from Cabelas I agree 85% of the time it swims upside down
the head also only lasts a few fish at max the keeper for the head has 4 "barbs" the head is set on these "barbs" when the fish clamps down on this bait it is like taking a 1/2 of an orange and putting it on the old style juicer..
it gets destroyed internally.. I emailed river2sea about this and then a person named Angelo called me and we had a discussion for almost 1/2 hour.. the first 5 minutes he was trying to see how my angling skills we to makeme the blame for the products downfalls.. He also stated i was the first to make these statements and they were unaware of any issues he also stated he was a pro staff member and fished the first generation Clackin Crayfish without issues (the first generationClackin Crayfish had no weedguard)
you can see my video here http://youtu.be/BAlSFeEy1pU look at about 46 seconds in and you will see it swimming upside down on the retrieve..

I much prefer River2Sea's Standin and Super Yabbies to the Clackin Cray. I've caught everything on those yabbies from SMB, LMB, Trout, to even Steelhead. I might try the new smaller Clackin Cray when they come in stock but the big guy just isn't worth it.
