What is it?
Luck-E-Strike Chris Lane Drop Dead Craw
What does it do?
If you ask Chris Lane, it cashes checks. Seriously, though, the craw-shaped soft plastic can be Texas-rigged, used as a trailer on a jig to present a unique, crawfish-imitating action.
What sets it apart?
This bait has combined the bite-generating features of a creature/craw with paddle claws that can often be found on a swimbait—it creates a highly realistic, and hard-to-resist swimming action. Chris Lane said that this lure was critical to his 2015 Elite Series victory on the Sabine River. The craw is 3.5 inches in length and is available in 7 attractive colors.
How do I use it?
The Drop Dead Craw can be Texas-rigged to reach bass hugging deep wood or rock, but it can also be used as a jig trailer or even as a stand-alone punch bait. By slowly working it along crawfish-related structure, it will catch largemouth and smallies alike.

Editor insight:
The Drop Dead Craw has so much going on, it’s hard to not love it. If I were a bass, I’d dine out on this thing often. Of course, a hook in the face might make me think twice… In all seriousness, the combined small profile with the dual paddle claws creates a very unique action that is hard for fish to ignore. I think if you were to cut it in half and feed it onto the back of a swim jig, it would be just killer. I’m might just to have to try that.
