Westin Crecraw Box

Westin CreCraw Box

The Ultimate All-in-One Creature Bait Toolkit.

At Gerry’s, we know that crayfish are a primary high-protein food source for large Perch, Zander, and Bass. The Westin CreCraw Box is a masterfully curated collection of the most effective creature baits on the market, paired with the exact terminal tackle needed to fish them. This isn’t just a box of lures; it is a complete tactical system designed to trigger aggressive strikes from lethargic predators.

The CreCraw itself is a marvel of lure design. Its swimming claws move independently, kicking into action the second they hit the water, while fluttering tentacles and legs provide a lifelike secondary movement. With hook slots in both the back and belly, these lures are designed to be fished “weedless” in the heart of the snags where the biggest fish hide.

Why It’s a Gerry’s Top Pick:

• The “American Action” Hybrid: Combines the aggressive movement of US-style craws with the subtle, hyper-detailed Scandinavia design Westin is famous for.

• Ready-to-Fish Versatility: The box includes bullet weights for Texas/Carolina rigging and “StandUp” jigheads for a classic defensive craw posture on the bottom.

• Anise Scented: Each lure is infused with a powerful aniseed scent, ensuring predators hold on longer once they strike, giving you more time to set the hook.

• Stable Swimming Profile: The wide body prevents the lure from rotating unnaturally, ensuring a predictable action even when fished at speed or in heavy currents.

• Wormproof Storage: Supplied in a high-quality Westin tackle box that won’t react with soft plastic lures, keeping your gear organized and protected.

Tactical Rigging: How to Use the CreCraw Box

1. The Texas Rig (Weedless Power):

Use the Bullet Weights and EWG Hooks to create a weedless Texas rig.10 This is the ultimate way to “punch” through thick weed or drag the lure through sunken trees and snags. The bullet weight protects the hook point, allowing the CreCraw to crawl through the “jungle” where Perch feel safest.

2. The StandUp Jig (Defensive Posture):

Rigging on the StandUp LT Jigheads causes the CreCraw to sit at a 45-degree angle on the bottom with its claws raised. To a hungry Perch or Zander, this perfectly mimics a crayfish in a defensive stance—a signal that an easy, high-calorie meal is available.

3. The Carolina Rig (Deep Water Finesse):

By using the Rolling Swivels and Beads provided, you can create a Carolina rig. This allows the CreCraw to drift and “hover” behind the weight, providing a much slower, more natural fall that is deadly in clear water or during the colder winter months.

4. The Trailer Trick:

While this box is a standalone kit, the 6.5cm CreCraws make incredible trailers for chatterbaits or rubber jigs. Their independently moving claws add a massive amount of vibration and visual “bulk” to your presentation.

Gerry’s Tip: When fishing the CreCraw, don’t be afraid to let it sit still. Because the claws and tentacles are so soft, even the slightest underwater current will move them. Often, a big Perch will watch the lure for 10 seconds before hitting it the moment you give it a tiny twitch!
