Single Pack: 8 Ct.
According to the PowerTeam Dictionary, the Craw D'oeuvre (pronounced Craw Derv, like hors d'oeuvre…think of a little appetizer) is also commonly referred to by millions of anglers as the "Craw D", or "The D'oeuvre", and secretly the "Craw Diggity" by countless Spartan warriors. (Don't let them Spartan warriors fool you! When they're not out on the battle fields kicking ass, they're out on the water kicking ass with our baits). Anyway, back to the appetizer part. The Craw D'oeuvre is a downsized 3 1/2 inch craw/creature that appeals to basically every type of freshwater bass that swims (smallmouth, largemouth, spotted, Samoan). It has a subtle, natural crawfish action that bass just can't resist. As a matter of fact, when you're done reading this tidbit of Craw D'oeuvre history, click on the video to the left and you can see the natural action of this scrumptious little bait in the tank rigged on a Pea Head…you'll then understand why bass drool all over it. (Oh, and for you Shakey head fishermen out there, our Pea Heads pair together with the Craw D'oeuvres like spaghetti pairs together with meatballs…hint, hint!). Another cool thing about "The D'oeuvre" is its ability to produce in some of the toughest situations due to its compact size and subtle action. Even when the bass have their panties in a bunch because of some crazy cold front that moved in, the Craw Diggity has a way of unlocking their jaws. Pitch it, flip it, punch it, T-rig it, C-rig it, drop shot it, split shot rig it, Shakey head it, or use it as an AWESOME jig trailer. Do whatever you want…there's no rules!!! Bill Clinton once said "The Craw D'oeuvre is a highly productive, unbelievably easy bait to fish. If you can't catch bass on this bait, throw away your rods and take up tennis because you're obviously in the wrong sport!" We couldn't have said it better ourselves. :)
One last thing…..If you happen to come across a Spartan warrior on the water, please don't let them know that we told you their secret! We don't need them kicking our asses too!
Sincerely,
The PTL Management
If you're new to fishing craws, the Craw D'oeuvre is an excellent bait to start with because it'll help you build confidence fast. Just twist one up on a Pea Head, cast and slowly drag. It's that simple. Then after you get your feet wet, you can start implementing all the other techniques that were mentioned in the product description. Learn the ways of The D'oeuvre and the fish Gods will reward you!

Awesome Bait
This bait is very durable, I was able to use the same bait all day long without losing it or the fish destroying this soft bait. I caught 8 bass on this lure with the smallest bass weighing just over 3lbs. I highly recommend this lure for your tackle box.

POW!!!
I use this baits as one of my go to lures . I catch a lot of fish with it both large mouth and small mouth. Not many anglers are aware of this awesome bait so it's kind of a secret weapon. Thanks JP for turning me on to it!!!

The best craw you'll ever use
This bait is the best thing that will ever happen to you; I caught 9 bass in less than an hour and it held up real nice. What also makes this craw so awesome is that it comes with hog tonic, and that stuff really triggers the bites. don't wait to get these things. lastly this works best with the pea heads in 1/4 oz rigged weedless.

Like ringing the dinner bell
By far the best plastic craw I have ever had the pleasure of fishing. The colors are INCREDIBLE and the action is irresistible. You can use the Craw D’oeuvre on a Texas rig, Carolina rig, Shakey Head, Drop Shot, or as a trailer on your favorite jig! Not only does the Craw D’oeuvre add a salivating profile to any jig but it also skips as smoothly as a polished river rock. Adding these to a jig will have you skipping with more efficiency and effectiveness instantly. PowerTeam Lures ups the ante by including a vial of “Hog Tonic” with every package, pairing the two together is like a 5 star dinner with a delicious bottle of wine, Burgers with Beer, or cake and ice cream. Not only do the Craw D’oeuvres offer an irresistible meal for the bass but each plastic will last through catching multiple fish. You should treat yourself to a package of Craw D'oeurves and offer some fine dining to your local fish!

Potomac River Killer
Every adversity provides opportunity and this winter was adverse to my spirits as it can get. My passion for fishing had to be satisfied through the internet and I found PTL while looking for a color called "Potomac blue." On April 12, 2014, I opened my first package of pumpkin/green "Craw D's" while Power Poled down next to a log in Pascataway Creek. I colored the tips of the pincers orange and pitched the bait next to the log. Last week I received an order of several more packages of the "Craw D" because the past two weeks have been phenomenal. Yesterday (on a Sunday! on a heavily fished Potomac!) I caught nearly forty bass including a 6.5 pounder on this lure. Its been that way all Spring. My secret has been a small weight, 2/0 hook, an orange marker, a power pole, a log and a Craw D.

Crawtastic!!!
This is the first bait I tried in the PTL line up. I started off using it as a trailer on skirted jigs. I still do and will not throw a skirted jig without a Craw D on the back. I have now progressed and use them for punching into tight fish havens. Texas rigging, shakey head rigging and even Carolina Rigging them. What I like about them is the low profile and the fact that the pinchers give a subtile action. When a bass sneaks up on them when they are in a negative mood, the pinchers raise up from the water the bass is displacing making forward momentum. They can't resist and literally swallow them. Set the hook and hold on
They are just versatile little fellas and work in most situations. The Hog Tonic helps a bunch too! -
Finnesse at its finest
When I need a compact profile and the bite is tough, I reach for this craw. It is a good finnesse jig trailer in clear water and high skies and works great on a shaky head. My favorite though is as a compact flipping bait. I have caught 8-9 fish off one craw before. Very durable and when soaked in hog tonic...deadly on bass.
