Soft Shell Crab 2″

The D.O.A. Soft Shell Crab 2″ is a compact crab imitation made for sight fishing, bottom presentations, and targeting fish that are feeding on crabs. At 2″ wide and 1/4 oz, it has a natural sink rate that lets it fall and settle like an easy meal. Slide it across the surface, creep it over potholes, or work it slowly along the bottom when redfish, permit, cobia, snook, tarpon, or other predators are looking for something different than a standard baitfish or shrimp profile. What makes the Soft Shell Crab useful is how specific the presentation is. Many inshore fish feed on small crabs, especially around flats, sandy potholes, oyster bars, mangrove edges, docks, passes, and current seams. This bait gives anglers a simple way to imitate that meal with a small, natural-looking profile that can be fished slowly and kept in the strike zone. For Snook Snacks anglers, the D.O.A. Soft Shell Crab 2″ is a great bait to throw when fish are cruising, tailing, or feeding low. Use it when redfish are working shallow flats, when permit or cobia are keying on crabs, or when snook and tarpon are sitting in current and want a slower, natural presentation. It is a small bait with a very clear job: look like a crab, move naturally, and get eaten.
