Soft plastic pitching and flipping baits aren’t necessarily the most exciting things to read—or write—about. I totally get it. So when I put together a review on something like this, it’s simply because it works. Hang with me for a second, because this particular bait is worth a few minutes of your time.

I’ve been tinkering with the Gene Larew Rattlin’ Crawler for quite a while now and it has been catching ‘em in some pretty tough conditions. It’s working in both shallow and deep water, so I think a lot of anglers will be able to put it to good use.
