Comments: The rage bug is awesome!! Best trailer and soft bait I have ever used. Summer craw is my go to but watermelon red flake is good also. Fish hold on tight and don't let go. Action is perfect but arms fall off quick. Definitely give these a try.

From: Phil B: Fl 12/16/22

Comments: used it with a texas rig weighted without a peg, it got bit by big pike and broke me off, tied on another one and the same pike bit it and guess what, it broke me off (BIG BAIT=BIG FISH). ok actually the scent is very nice and the action is really good, it feels pretty durable and is kinda hard to rig (perfectly) the wavy body adds some vibration too. i like these if im going for a bigger profile and trying to catch something big

From: Unknown: Minnesota 9/4/22

Comments: These baits are so awesome, I've used multiple different brands of creature baits but this is the one that gets bit the most. They usually last about 2-3 fish for me but work really well. I love slow dragging it on the bottom and some occasional hops, the bass love them.

From: Kevin: California 7/24/22

Comments: Go to for a jig trailer. Can skip a mile with these too. Durable. Cut it almost in half, keeping all the legs. Fits almost any 3/8 - 1/2 oz jig.

From: Marty: Unknown 5/5/22

Comments: I use these on a wobble head and drag it along the bottom. I have caught many bass doing this. I also use it for a jig trailer when I want a bigger profile. I really like these ... the only thing I do is bite off the first segment or two by the head to allow me to rig it a bit flatter against the jig head - also seems to hold up a bit longer when I do so.

From: Michael: Memphis, TN 2/3/22

Comments: Great for Texas rig or jig trailer. Comparable to the Googan Bandito Bug but Rage Bug is 2x as durable. Black/Blue, PBJ, and Blue Craw are the favs.

From: Roger: North Carolina 1/21/22

Comments: I was getting dang tired of my buddy whipping my but throwing these. Bought a few packs, the bass are all over the bug. They bite and don't let go. If you can cast and hit the water, you'll catch bass. It will make you feel like a pro.

From: Jethro: Maryland 7/13/21

Comments: I've tried a lot of these "beaver" style baits and still am but the Strike King Rage Bug flat out catches them. If it wasn't for me still being new to fishing and wanting to try a lot of different baits and brands I'd probably just be throwing this fish magnet all day long. There's really nothing to not like about it. It's action is great and size is just right. It's durable enough to go threw a few fish and you can still fish it with just one back leg and get bit. Did I mention I've yet to find a bait like this that gets bit as good weightless? Get you some Strike King Rage Bug packs and get you some bass.

From: Dean: Minnesota 6/16/21

Comments: Best bait I have ever used. Just a bass magnet.

From: Donovan 3/14/21

Comments: One of the best flipping baits I've ever used. Hands down.

From: Timothy: Palatka, Florida 2/27/21

Comments: I love these baits. The action that these baits provide when rigged up on a standard Texas rig is insane. I used to throw the bandito bug after they first came out but then I picked up a pack of these and it is not even close. These baits make the Googan baits bandito bug look like trash. They have better durability, better action and they have better colors all for a cheaper price.

From: Unknown: South Dakota 2/23/21

Comments: Absolutely amazing lure. I use the Falcon lake craw all the time in murky water and performs very well. In South Dakota, there aren't many bass around but this lure catches them all. Makes a great Texas/Carolina rig or a jig trailer as well. The plastic quality is way better than the Bandito Bug. Recommended!

From: Austin: Sioux Falls, South Dakota 12/10/20

Comments: Really enjoy using this bait! I was using the Bama Craw color trying to match the hatch of some crawdads found in the same lake. It absolutely crushed the bass each cast around heavy cover I was getting nailed left and right I highly recommend this bait!

From: Mason: Las Vegas, Nevada 4/26/20

Comments: Try the Rage Bug in Green Pumpkin color as a trailer for a Gene Larew Biffle Hardhead (or swinging jig head of your choice)  *IF you have a clean bottom with pea gravel or chunk rock ... Just drag it on the bottom at a moderate pace deflecting off of rocks and obstacles - works extremely well !

From: Luther: Georgia 9/11/19

Comments: This bait has been like Magic for me.  Past several season a Rage Bug on a Swinghead has accounted for more Plus-Sized Brown bass than most everything else I throw Combined !  Beyond that, it's versatility as a stand alone or trailer is unmatched. I'll hang this one confidently on any and every vibrating & standard jig I throw; anywhere - anytime.  If you haven't done this yet, you are most assuredly missing bites.  Tie One On ~ !

Comments: been fishing my whole life in dirty water bite a little off and put on back of a black and blue chatterbiat nice and steady straight retrieve rod tip low!! thank me by checking out my youtube @bassfishingnyc for some giants caught on same set up

From: bassfishingnyc: new york 7/3/18

Comments: my favorite way to fish this plastic is to texas rig and fish cover and submerged vegitation the fish canot stand this thing it is one of the best flipping baits on the market 

From: bass are in the grass: marion, va 5/28/18

Comments: I'm in love with these baits I've been using them ever since I started fishing and they never leave my side, they are durable have the best action out there and are a good price too there isn't a day that I don't use these while I'm fishing.

From: Nate: TX 2/13/18

Comments: Best flipping creature bait out there hands down! It's been my go to bait for the past 3 years, especially during the spawn. Smallies go absolutely nuts for this thing. California Craw, Summer Craw and Bama Craw have always produced for me, but I don't think you can go wrong with any color. I pair this with a 4/0 or 5/0 Owner Twistlock Flippin' or Open Gap Hook with a pegged 1/8-3/8oz Tungsten weight. Buy a few packs of these, you won't be disappointed.

From: Mike: Syracuse, NY 5/30/17

Comments: Great Bait! These baits get bit! I fish them on a Texas rig with a 1/4 tungsten and a 4/0 offset worm hook. But the durability is trash. The appendages/claws rip off so easy. I went through a whole pack a caught like 4 fish. Had little ones and bluegill rip off the claws no problem. Other than that great bait! Highly recommend   

From: Cavan: VA 5/29/17

Comments: Was having a slow day until I rigged this badboy up on a D&T 5/16 football jig and proceeded to have one of the best days bass fishing ever.  Landed a solid 50+ bass the rest of the day and ended up coming off the lake early because I was tired from horsing so many fish out of deep weed beds.  This bait will always be in my box from now on.

From: Rush: Bigfork, Montana 5/24/17

Comments: Amazing bait. I either pitch it on a Texas rig or my favorite way to fish it is on a wobble head jig. The legs and arms kick so well. Have caught some great bass on them. People say they don't last long which I admit they aren't the most durable, I just use them as a jig trailer after they start to split. Just an overall great bait. Will continue to buy them!

From: Nicoh: Jasper, FL 2/6/17

Comments: I always stock up on these during TW sales.  They're my go to, barely use brush hogs anymore.  Get some Parasite Clips (size small) and you'll save a few baits throughout the day.

From: Dave: MO 1/18/17

Comments: This bait is killer. Simple Texas rig pitched into cover is absolutely too easy to catch a bass. It's like i make the pitch.. let it sink. And as I reel in the slack I feel the fish and set the hook ! If you thought the senko was a do nothing bait you haven't tried these ! It's almost like live bait. These are the real deal. 

From: J: Ohio 12/17/16

Comments: Favorite soft plastic bait by far! I use these Rage Bugs for everything from flipping and Carolina rigs to dropshotting! The possibilities are endless with these guys! They have the right amount of action to course the big girls into biting! When they get ripped up, don't throw them away! Cut them right down the middle and fish them as a great dropshot bait similar to the new Strike King KVD Perfect Plastics Halfshell, but with a bit more action! Great baits overall, good durability, awesome action! Try these out, you wont be disappointed!

Comments: Strike King Rage Bug is my go to plastic craw. I've used these in just about any type of water. clear, stained, muddy you name it. My favorite colors are the Bama Craw, Black Blue Flake and the Summer Craw. Bass crush 'em! Pair them up with your favorite jig and you should be good to go!

From: John: NJ 6/14/16

Comments: ive bought 20+ packs this year already & ya know what these things flat out catch bass. Can't beat the action from the appendages, but the durability is needless to say trash one or two decent fish tear it up. i went through 2 packs the first time i used them & now i cant stop buying them I'm sad to say this but these have replaced my brush hogs in my tackle bag & are my easy go to soft bait 24/7.

From: Lucien: CA 5/12/16

Comments: Flipped this bait today in summer craw color with a pegged 3/8 oz tungsten weight in laydowns. Fish were crushing this thing. Went through the entire pack in a few hours. Durability is pretty bad but that's to be expected with a soft lure that has good action. Definitely ordering some more packs in different colors.

Comments: was fishing a local pond wasn't getting any bites so I pulled these out on a Texas rig throw into some hang down trees and got bit and missed him then threw it back and got bit again set the hook and was a solid 5 pounder then he jumped off at the bank this bait is great also has awesome action

From: Devon: College Station, TX 3/27/16

Comments: greatest jig trailer ever great action and holds up really good I personally like the ochechobee craw color but they all catch fish all around great bait

From: Wyatt: FL 10/25/15

Comments: Awesome Bait! The action is great and it does catch bass! Green pumpkin is my "Go-To" color. I agree the durability isn't the best, but if you are looking to save your baits, stay home!

From: Adam: MN 9/11/15

Comments: Love the structure bug and so do the bass! Have had great success fishing them on a swinging jig head. Green pumpkin works for any water color. Agree that they don't hold up like some other baits, but Mend-It glue helps you get some extra life out of them. 

From: Rob: Westfield, IN 7/30/15

Comments: Fished this bait for the first time yesterday in the blue craw color. I was fishing from shore in a small public pond here in southern Michigan. Targeting off shore weedbeds, the bait performed great. Produced 6 bass and one breakoff in about 45 minutes. The action is incredible, and texposed this thing will go anywhere. I was very impressed and can't wait to try it more this weekend pitching docks.

From: Ron: Brownstown, MI 5/21/15

Comments: Great bait! I actually got a pack of these a while back, I used one as a jig trailer and forgot about them. I've caught a pile of bass on that jig and upon observing that the trailer needed to be changed I realized I hadn't put them to the test so immediately tied on a regular Texas rig and couldn't keep them from biting this guy. Flipping this bait is pretty awesome, so is using them on jointed heads and shaky heads. I can only speak for bama craw but I speak very highly.

From: Corey: Tifton, GA 5/20/15

Comments: Great Bait! Here in North Florida you can find all the good flipping and pitching water you can stand and these baits excel in that.  They have the most action of any beaver style bait out there including the Reaction Innovations Kinky Beaver.  Great profile that comes through the cover great and the legs kick wildly in the water at the smallest bit of movement. Only knock I would have on it is that it's not as durable as some other baits.  Only been on the water twice with them so far and have averaged about 2 bass per bait. Not bad but not great either. They do get bit though so that kind of makes up for it.  I fish this bait with a high speed reel (at least 7:0 or higher), Extra Heavy Action flipping stick, 60 lb Sunline FX2 braid, 5/0 Gamakatsu flipping hook and finally a 1oz Tru Tungsten weight.  Will definitely be a staple in my aresenal from now on.  Now Strike King: BRING US SOME MORE COLORS PLEASE!!  Junebug, Candy Craw etc....

From: Hydrilla Gorilla: Lake Seminole, FL 12/23/14

Comments:  I absolutly love this bait. During tough conditions I will go to this bait with a 3 ought hook with a 1/4 or 3/8th ounce weight Texas rigged. Great dock bait along with pitching into pockets of weeds. Durable bait and produces fish!!

From: Wisconsin Angling Outdoors: WI 10/12/14

Comments: great lure my go to lure its well designed and its is a great jig trailer, just wish it came in Jung Bug, Candy Craw, Okechobee Craw, and Bama Bug.

From: JWRSFishing: Birmingham, AL 9/24/14

Comments: these are awesome on a swivel type football head and even work Texas rigged. My new favorite creature bait. Only drawback is, as others stated, the durability isn't too good. A couple fish and the bait is trash, the appendages come off easily. I love the summer craw/blue craw colors.

From: Wes: IN 9/4/14

Comments: Horrendous durability like all Rage Tail baits. Great action, and they catch fish but they just don't last long at all. Bama Craw is money.

From: Jason: Dandridge, TN 9/3/14

Comments: Good bait to throw on a wobble-head style jig. I like watermelon and green pumpkin. Not durable however, appendages are easily pulled off.  A pesky bluegill can ruin one of these.

From: Quillback: AR 8/24/14

Comments: Durability is a joke. I ripped two of these just setting the hook with no fish on the line. That being said, they do catch fish. The action is better than any other beaver style bait I've fished. I caught several 3 pounders on the blue craw color.  Will continue to buy these even though the durability is terrible... They put fish in the boat, what can I say

From: JG: Nashville, TN 8/13/14

Comments:  bought this because i liked other strike king plastics and i was impressd on how it worked use it texas rigged with a bullet weight and cast into structure and your set pulled 6 bass in a bad spot in 30 min all decent size!

From: Lander: NJ 7/16/14

Comments: Recently got a pack of black neon and PB&J, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. Got on a good flippin bite the other day, and this seemed to be exactly what the fish wanted. Heavy braid, a snelled 4/0 strike-king Hack Attack Flipping hook, 1/2 oz tungsten, and a black neon Rage Bug produced 15+ lbs in 2 hours. The action this thing has is pretty incredible. When separated, the split beaver tail flares out to each side produces a very nice wiggle. I did not get a chance to try this bait on a jointed football jig, but I imagine it would look pretty sweet in the water. Overall I would say this is a very versatile and useful bait for the money. Will be ordering more when they are in stock!

From: Pete: Upper Bay, MD 7/15/14

Comments: 4# trokar Flippin hook and a pegged 1/2 weight and your good to go..... or use a biffle hardhead type rig... very good bait overall. Durability is not great but I'm not complaining as long as it puts fish in the boat

From: Landon: TN 7/5/14

Comments: Fished the summer craw in clear water for a couple hours today.  True to it's namesake, the bug has action.  It is compact enough to slide through dead matted cattails.  When sitting on bottom the tails float and flutter with the slightest rod movement.  I am a dbomb fan, but the bug could change that.
