- The making of the MEGA CRAW!!!
Growing up my go-to bait was ALWAYS a Rebel Crawdad. I've caught more fish on a Rebel Craw than any other bait in my life. Today, my absolute favorite hobby is making high quality cedar musky crank-trolling baits. I wanted to pay homage to my all time favorite fishing lure by creating a Rebel Craw inspired musky bait. This thing is larger than life and it runs like a dream. It's strictly a novelty item for my personal collection (as I think its too wide to have a great hookup percentage). I had a blast making the MEGA CRAW and I hope you enjoy watching it come together.
Materials:
-Select clear grade western red cedar
-West Systems epoxy
-3/16th clear polycarbonate
-1/16th stainless steel wire harness-hook hangers
-Createx paint
-Alumalite Epoxy

That's a damn lobster.
Beautiful work.
This is absolutely awesome and should have WAY more views
Haha!
That is incredible man!
I used that craw as a kid all the time also, I'm just turning 35 tomorrow so that was quite a while ago but that brought me back for sure!
I actually just got into bait/lure building a couple months ago and I really enjoy it. I am extremely grateful for CZcams and the abundance of great sources for learning information that is out there now a days! I just came across your channel yesterday and I am really glad that I did. So far your videos have definitely helped me with learning new/better techniques and figuring out really good and proper ways of doing some of the steps in the process.
So I would like to thank you for taking the time and effort to film and post your build videos! There are a lot of channels out there that do a good job at it and I am glad to have had them to reference from. But I just have to say, you do a great job and you are very talented at it! You set a higher standard that I am really happy to watch and learn from!
I have only made a hand full of baits so far, but I am really happy with how they are turning out and the quality is improving on each one.
I see off to the side in the suggested videos, your rotisserie (turning wheel) for drying your baits.
That'll be the next video I watch.
I made one that works great for now, using the bottom plate turning motor from an old junked microwave. but I would like to improve on it or make a bigger/better one in the future for sure.
I assume that you sell your baits?
Do you have an Instagram or something?
Thanks again!! Best wishes to you and your family!
Truly amazing!! So glad to see this video. You are inspiring me to get out in the shop and make wooden lures. From one fisherman to another - THANK YOU for making these videos!
Thanks for the Kind words Nick! Keep at it. It's an incredibly gratifying hobby.
I'd be willing to bet you that no matter how ridiculously big that lower is if I trolled it in Florida waters I'd get a sailfish or Marlin something big it has beautiful action and movement. Great work man good video.
Quality work as always buddy!
Love it! I was waiting for this video. Great work!
this is awesome
Wicked!
Amazing craw man! I've tested Loctite vs BSI epoxy and I have to say.. Loctite destroys epoxy when it comes to holding power for line ties and hook hangers. As long as the wood is NOT sealed and it has a chance to absorb into the wood at the same time as your putting in the linethrough/hook hange... etc
RUN ITTTTTT
Haha I definitely will but this thing is so wide i have a feeling the hookup percentage will be atrocious. It'll definitely get some teeth marks but if it actually lands a fish will have to be determined.
What bits were you using in the dremmel? Do you have a link for them, and awesome job man! Your very talented!
