Rapala CrushCity CleanUp Craw

The Rapala CrushCity CleanUp Craw is a premium soft plastic crawfish imitation designed to trigger aggressive strikes from largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass. Developed in collaboration with professional bass angler Jacob Wheeler, the CleanUp Craw combines realistic action, lifelike profile, and durable construction to excel in a wide variety of bass fishing techniques.

Designed with oversized claws that produce a natural kicking action on the fall and retrieve, the CleanUp Craw perfectly imitates a fleeing crawfish—one of the primary forage species bass feed on throughout the year. Whether you're flipping heavy cover, pitching docks, dragging rocky bottoms, or using it as a jig trailer, this bait delivers lifelike movement that consistently generates bites.

Constructed from Rapala's durable Smart Injection Technology™, the CleanUp Craw combines softness for natural action with the durability needed to withstand multiple fish. Its balanced design allows anglers to fish it effectively around grass, wood, rock, brush piles, and docks, making it a versatile addition to any bass angler's tackle box.

From springtime bedding fish to summertime offshore structure and fall feeding patterns, the Rapala CrushCity CleanUp Craw is built to help anglers catch more bass in virtually any condition.
