Heddon Crazy Crawler Wild-Action Topwater Fishing Lure

Excellent alternative to the Jitterbug. Depending where you shop, Jitterbugs can get kind of expensive. This creates great topwater noise and gets big hits. The lip on the jitterbug can bend and it awkwardly swims back from time to time depending on wind/reel speed. The crazy crawler has 2 jointed lips...when one is out, the other is in. It's going to swim the same every time. If the lip bends, you bend it back and it will swim the same as it did unlike the jitterbug where you have to bend it just right for it to work properly.The only advantage that the Jitterbug has that I've seen is sizes. I've only found this one crazy crawler in this size where I have a Jitterbug the same size, and then a slightly larger one that's jointed and they get bigger than that too.

If you are looking at this lure you know the history behind Crazy Crawler. Now, the thing that you may not know (I did not) Heddon is now made in China. With that you get Chinese quality lures. I bought 6 Crazy Crawlers, only 2 worked straight out of the box. The wing is assembled too tight and it does't open after the lure hit the water, making this lure useless. I returned the defected lures to Amazon. As aways, Amazon took it back and replaced with new ones. Unfortunately the same problem happen to the replaced lures. Instead of sending back again, I took an exacto knife and shaved some of the excess plastic that holds the wing off and now they are working but it took some time to "fine tune" it. If you never fished with this lure before and the wings are stuck, you will think that this lure just does't do anything. Sad to see a legendary American brand lure such as Heddon been made in China now...

One of the all-time best topwaters, especially for water with some wind-riffle on it. The action really calls them in. Glad I was able to find one on Amazon, because I never see them anymore in the big box tackle stores.

Hey Folks! The reason that I had to buy this one, is because I was using it, and a pickerel grabbed it and just cut my line, and it is one of my favorite bass lures of all time. Thanks and God Bless You!

Ordered 2 of these so that my daughter and grandkids can experience the strike explosion on top water with this odd looking plug. I did 50 years ago.

One of my favorite surface lures. Not sure what it imitates - probably frog or a small bird. Really easy to use - just cast and retrieve. Even with a slow retrieve makes a lot of noice and splashes. Lots of fun to watch how bass attacks it

I am very disappointed in the quality of the new crazy crawler I have used these for years I always changed the hooks since heddon went to China quality is very poor

Gave this lure to my fishing partner on trip to Maine he used it and was instantly in love with the way he kept reeling in fish. It has a unique action and is fun to watch. Sometimes old classics are so old that they become new

Atrae mucho a las lobinas, no se han animado a atacar pero les llama la atención, solo insistir un poco más

Exactly as advertised and they work like a charm. Bass love these things and they are fun as heck on a calm water day.
