V&M Wild Thang Craw
Review
This bait has proven to be an effective pitching and
flipping bait but its bulbous pincers also make it an
unlikely, yet incredible, topwater bait as well.

FINALE ON OUACHITA RIVER
“We caught 90 percent of our fish flipping a darker-
colored V&M Flippin’ Jig with a V&M Wild Thang Craw
Trailer,” said Joiner. “We’d flip it to a stump and let it drop,
or cast and reel in before letting it drop. It was a slow
process, but one of our main goals was to be extremely
quiet. We stayed off of the trolling motor and push-poled
our way through the backwaters.”

NSU Wins Wild Card
A V&M Pacemaker Lightning Blade, chartreuse in color
to match the hue of the bluegill, was the key lure. The
leadhead jig and spinner combination produced strikes as
the lure was ripped through the vegetation.
