first time I ever used the blue crab one, I dropped it under a dock blindly and caught a slot snook within 20 seconds
That's awesome!!!!
I bought the blue crab pack. Can’t wait to use them!
Awesome! Let us know how you like them!
I kill it on the old DOA crabs cant wait to try these!! I spread the love with everyone i know good luck in the New Year!

Thanks for the nice comment Mike!
Would these be good for inshore fishing open water? Or do they work best from around structure and piers? If that’s the case I’ll pick up some of the 3D TPE crabs that have the standup jighead. I think those can cover open water well
You can have success in openwater, however, they're best used close to structure. More than likely, that is where these fish expect to feed on crustaceans.
Nice!!
thank you!
🦀 I like they are prerigged but I'm skeptical because of the small area open for hook..I'm a bit attached to my crusty ones..I hope you will do a real test in water with fish soon comparing the cabbies of battles 🦀
these do actually sink a lot faster than you would think. and we compare these to another crab imitation... stay tuned!
I have the Chase Baits crab, had it about a year now, not a ton of success on it but I've caught several fish. Its started to separate from the body weight too.
I think its a good bait, I just think out water is too murky here (Mississippi Gulf Coast) for good line if sight fishing. I mostly jig mine at a slower speed, I put a split ring on the hook mount, and connected a small barrel swivel gold willow blade to it.
The addition of flash, and vibration really seemed to help the lure for me but I'm not really sure what's doing most of the work at this point. Visibility in my area is less than 6 inches, right on the Mississippi river mouth, and I'm a inshore fishermen.
Good Info! Thanks for the nice comment! We appreciate the support!
Used them alongside mangrove crabs…never got a bite on the artificial while the mangrove crabs were on fire.
Was likely me but haven’t been able to get a bite with them. I’ll keep trying!
thanks for taking the time to comment!
Live bait is nearly always superior to lures.
@@comfortablynumb9342 not always!
@@Saltstrong "nearly always superior" is what I said, and meant. I didn't just say always.
WESTIN- coco the crab is another good shout
True that. They look fantastic underwater. My only concern is them snagging because of the exposed double-Treble hooks on each hand (similar to the Cranka Crab). I'm sure they work well though.
I caught one of my biggest Bonefish on small Savage Crab
that's awesome! still waiting to catch a bonefish! 🙌
Would a loop knot or a snug knot work best for this

They do make the most lifelike lures however they melt ! A hot July in NY my squids melted, still in the package, stored in a Plano bin outside. I would imagine that would happen quite easily in Florida. Be careful how you store them.
Good Info! 💪
Need a video for rigging gulp fiddlers!
Noted! Thank you for the suggestion!
I was going to comment I would try them for sheepshead then you show it in under a minute and a half in
HaHa Thanks for taking the time to write the nice comment John!
@@Saltstrong In NJ I repaint some of my Tautog heavy jigs white or beige with black, red or pink mottling to imitate native young lady crab or Asian Shore Crab, invasive since 1988 so maybe they know what they are.
When using a tog or blackfish jig we all add a cut crab or small crab so there is scent and sight on a weighted hook. Pink, white, and glow paint might give a boost down deep if not covered.
Silhouette recognition is supposed to be innate and it is enforced over time for older fish so I think an actual crab bait is worth trying.
Will these work for tog
they can for sure, but you will have to let them sink down there.
I tried the larger Savage crab lures in the past and never got a bite, didn't even get attention from pinfish or pufferfish. These lures are made to catch fishermen, not fish. Look great, just don't work that good, at least for the average angler I would say. Maybe there's some secret to fishing them that no one in the comments here seems to know.
He have had some solid luck on them in the past with sheepshead.
I have used the blue craps on spots with reds and sheepshead and not a single hit. Not very happy with them
thanks for leaving the feedback Elio
I have few different brands of crab lures and never had a bite on any of them. So as a result they don't even get taken out of the tackle box any more.
they can be really good for sheepshead!
@@Saltstrong yeah. Problem is I'm from downunder
@@pistnbroke2 Awesome! Thanks for the nice comments! We appreciate the support!
I have some of the other type salvage gear makes
They can catch some fish!
Can you guys make a hermit crab ojt of its shell lure, because out here in the Philippines live hermit crabs catch everything
Can you try a crayfish lure first?
@@johnc6228 it has to be small but yes
we will look into it! Thanks for the suggestions!
Any way of making them weedless?
Unfortunately not that i know of... if you find something let us know!
@@Saltstrong will do!
Have tried all of those! They haven’t worked for me.
they can be great for targetting sheepshead!
Cost to much and they melt in my tackle bag stick to other lures ,have to have its own space in tackle bag
Thanks for the feedback, you do have to be careful on storing lures made of different materials, check out this info: www.saltstrong.com/articles/storing-soft-plastic-lures-mistake/
@@Saltstrong lol you just saved me a lot of money 💰 bro !
Dude I was pissed so many times fuckin around with these soft lures....thanks tho now I know why
Unfortunately it is not the smallest crab on the market that goes to the Westin Coco Crab!
It is the size of a Penny! I was going to try and upload a picture for you guys but I can’t add pics on comments!
We will soon have a review comparing this crab to another competitor crab Lure, and we will show size comparison then (these are also the size of a Penny).
Just like Justin said, we have another video coming soon to compare these to, so stay tuned!
Sweet that will be awesome 🙌

How do you see these working for Tarpon (pass crabs) @saltstrong
They might work, the challenge is they sink rather fast and Tarpon really key in on the Crabs at the surface.
@@Jritchey1211 Thanks justin!
