I’ll share:
the pros and cons of these lures
my favorite scenarios to use them to catch sheepshead (and even grouper),
some really cool underwater footage so you know what it looks like in action
how to get these lures for 20% off

Thanks ...appreciate the unbiased reviews!
Our pleasure!
Like the testing and checking them against others and sizes as well..
I like your channel
We need more crab lures or better jigheads for the ones on the market. I think a simple weighted hook that can be threaded on the bait would be great but sadly there aren’t any on the market. The only thing I think that might be similar are the crappie tube jig heads. I use the gamakatsu ones for saltwater but they bend out from time to time.
There are plenty of great options out there!
Can’t wait to try the ones I have.
Hope you catch some great fish with them!
Can you guys please review the No Live Bait Needed 5" Swimbaits? I've seen them around a ton.
We will see what we can do!
Nice underwater footage and review
How do these compare on redfish?
R these useful with Black Fish?????
Just curious what size jig are you using for this?
What size line you using for it? Mono or flouro?
thank you for your time..
Any time
Have a pack also, gonna try them in a creek to see if I can get some bites. There's a disclaimer on Tackle Warehouse not to store these with other soft plastics.
Should be good for snapper right???
Just buy the bodies 5 in a pack and put your own hooks in them and let them drop naturally like you were doing with crusties .
What kind of hook? Weighted hook? Jig?
Size 1/0 J hook
Shinkiro you can use a weighted hook if you want to get it down faster or in moving water ,
Why not just go with these?
Great video I've just made the purchase can't wait to use them, when your retrieving the crab you mentioned you let it sink, then slowly wind and stop just curious do you want to have any tension on the line or do you want slack in the line?
You generally want to have some slack in the line to let it sink. but once it has had enough time to hit bottom you want to keep line tension.
Thanks for leaving the comment!
@@Saltstrong thank you for taking your time to answer my question appreciate it love the channel subbed 🤙
@@Daniel-xc8nf No problem daniel! Be sure to get your 11 lures for a penny at www.11lures.com
I found it on Amazon I just hope it comes with the jig
I got it, and it comes with the jig. Hope this helps! Tight lines!
What do you mean when you say that the crab reacted and went bad
Tie direct or loop knot?
Think these with the bottom sweeper jigs would be a good combo?
That’s such a good idea, if anyone tries this let us know
What line and rod setup is good for 2 inch and 4 inch crab?
Good video, would these work well with a 1/16 oz keel weight hook or no weight hook to sink them slowly? Thanks
Carlos
Luke, I may have to go for the 1 1/2" crab, but pse help me out here. What is the length of the 1" crab taking the legs into account? Many thanks for the excellent/informative videos.
Thanks for leaving a comment, Carlos! The legs don't stick out but maybe a quarter inch on each side.
does it come with the jig head?

@@Saltstrong thank you
4:09 it probably touched a zman. Zman baits hate any other plastic
might be good for bass
Please let us know if you try them for bass.
@@Saltstrong Lol i don't think you can buy them in Canada :P
How would this lure work with fast moving tides like we see here in SC? Typically with fiddlers, we have to drop straight down with a fairly heavy weight so it won't just float with the tides endlessly, and away for the pilings where the Sheepshead are.
Yeah the tides are really fast down here in SC. Do fiddler crabs work as bait though???
@@twomovesahead_media for Sheepshead, Fiddlers are the most popular bait by far.
Based on how they have done here, I have to assume they'd work up your way too.
Is this a 1” or 2”
It's the smallest one... package says 1", but it seems to be a bit bigger than that.
I saw a review and a dude was slaying redfish , black drum , and a tarpon on it
Nice!
I've come to the conclusion that I'm an absolute skunk at fishing with artificial. I literally just spent an hour with this lure while looking at a school of sheepshead and I could not even get them to look at it.
Some days they just don't eat!
There is so much controversy and issues with the actual size of these Savage Gear crabs. On the front of that package you have it says 2.5cm-1", 2g-1/14oz; but that label on the back says, right in front of your face, TC-50-NP 2"-1/4oz...and you don't point out the discrepency in those labels. Savage Gears own website has THAT crab, TC-50, in 2", 3", and 4" sizes. There is no 1" crab for that model. Now if you go to Bass Pro Shops website, they have this same crab...TC-50, in 1" and 3". If you go to Tackle Warehouse website, they have it in 1", 2", and 3". This makes no sense!
We'll have to look into that!
I would buy but since its made in chiNA not a chance ,
Manchap karM 😂
Haha...good luck holding on to that fantasy.
throw ur stuff
@@my31and37 Yes it be hard not to get anything from chiNA but at least ill not be buying there shite
Get your dog out of the video, what's the point? Otherwise good info thanks.
Show us on the doll where the dog hurt you.
