Looking down at the skies crystal clear reflection as I’m drifting over the marsh. Standing on my platform above everything, waiting. Waiting to see a wake pushing through the vegetation. Waiting to see a tail peak its way along the bank. Waiting to aim my lure towards a redfish that skipped breakfast and is dying for lunch. In the sight fishing world sometimes you only have one chance to make that perfect cast with the perfect lure. Sometimes the perfect cast just isn’t enough.
A redfish falls victim to The Victory Red Marsh Craw by Shu-Shu Lures
Many sight fishing trips are left with questions and no answers. Lures play a significant role to how we fish in South Louisiana. We all have our favorite eyecatcher3000, but I’m going to shed a little light on a new lure made right here on the Northshore. It’s called the Marsh Craw by Shu-Shu lures. It’s a crawfish style soft plastic that has a small profile but very durable. Along with durability it has a high fluttering claw action that will bring out even the toughest redfish out of vegetation. It comes in a variety of colors but my favorite so far is the Victory Red. Traditionally a bass fishing bait, crawfish plastics are starting to break the saltwater scene and all because of one major similarity. Crawfish claws are similar to crab claws. Using the Marsh Craw can mimic a small crab working its way through the marsh alluring the strikes from redfish, marsh bass and even trout. Rigging this lure is very simple but using it with a weighted weedless hook is my favorite. If you are in to sight fishing like me or just like a great versatile soft plastic, Shu-Shu lures has a variety of different baits to choose from. They will help you conquer your fishing needs and from personal experience, all the baits deliver great results. Good luck and good fishing…
