An ultra-finesse straight-tail worm that offers unprecedented lifelike appeal, the Critter Tackle Hatta Crawler Mini ECO from Tiemco is a bait finesse (bfs) and ultra-light angler’s dream soft bait. Constructed from a super-soft elastomer material, the Hatta Crawler Mini offers excellent buoyancy and durability. Just like a real earthworm, the Hatta Crawler features a thin body profile and slight segmentation that put off subtle vibrations in the water, a surefire way to draw the attention of any hungry fish. The back end features a slight taper that terminates at a small bulbed-shaped tail, adding a bite-inducing quiver with each movement of the bait or change in water flow. Perfect for highly pressured fisheries, Hatta Crawler Mini is the closest thing to fishing a real worm.
Suitable for a variety of presentations, the Hatta Crawler Mini offers tremendous versatility. Paired with a light wire mosquito hook and ultra-fine PE (braided) line, it features a delicate shimmering action and can be worked as a topwater floating worm. The floating material also adds significant appeal to Neko Rigs, Texas Rigs, and more by allowing the bait to stand on the bottom. Hatta Crawler Mini is also an excellent choice for dropshot presentations and can be rigged nose-hooked or with an offset hook for a more weedless presentation. Rig Hatta Crawler on a light offset hook and pair with a couple of small split shots 8-12″ down the line to create an all-time classic finesse worm presentation that never fails to get bites.
*NOTE: Do not store elastomer baits with other soft baits and lures, as the different types of plastics may react and melt. Remove all hooks and weights and return the worms to their blister pack after use to ensure they retain their shape.
