A 1" floating crawdad soft plastic built for tight streams, shallow runs, and fish that live nose-down.
What it is
The Creek Crawler is a 1" finesse crawdad designed specifically for small-stream fishing. Bite-sized, subtle, and realistic, it’s made for creek bass and panfish that feed on tiny crustaceans hiding under rocks and roots.
Why it works
Poured from durable floating plastic, the Creek Crawler holds its claws up in a natural defensive posture. That buoyancy adds lifelike action on the pause, making cautious fish commit instead of just following.

Fish it
Drift it through runs, dead-stick it in pockets, or lightly hop it along gravel. Let the claws do the talking—less movement gets more bites.
Where it shines
Best around rock bottoms, undercut banks, log jams, and anywhere crawdads naturally live in small Appalachian streams.

Appalachian Backstory
Deep in the Appalachian valleys, old fishermen spoke of a strange little crawdad known as the Creek Crawler.
Folks believed it could sense hidden water—long-lost mountain streams tucked beneath thickets and stone. Its tiny claws tapped the earth like a compass, guiding those patient enough to follow.
Generations trusted the Creek Crawler as a quiet guide, leading them to untouched runs and fish that rarely saw a hook. A reminder that the hills still hold secrets, if you’re willing to slow down.
What can I say, a goto confidence building bait that is sure to get bit!

Little Lure, big fun.
These guys will catch tons of small fish but the big ones will eat them up as well. These work great with a jig head dragged over rocks with some twitches and pops thrown in there.
