Heddon Crazy Crawler

Heddon’s Crazy Crawler is a topwater lure featuring a distinctive side-to-side crawling action across the surface and splash generated by its metal wings. The wings mounted on the sides of the body catch the water and swing from side to side, disturbing the surface at a steady rhythm while producing an irregular crawling action unlike that of conventional plugs. As it moves across the surface, it creates a wake and splashes, designed to attract fish by adding movement and sound to calm water.

The standard model is listed at 2 3/8 inches in length and 5/8 ounce in weight, equipped with #2 hooks. After casting, the basic presentation is to retrieve at a steady speed, using the pace at which the wings catch the water and begin the action as a guide. Because the way the lure disturbs the surface changes with retrieve speed, the speed can be adjusted according to the fish’s response. The smaller Tiny Crazy Crawler is listed as a separate model at 1 3/4 inches in length, 1/4 ounce in weight, and equipped with #6 hooks, differing in both size and hook configuration.
