Reins Mini AX Craw 2" is a compact craw/creature soft bait designed for finesse fishing. Its small profile and responsive claws work even on slow retrieves, making it effective in cold water and under heavy fishing pressure.

UL / light spinning – ideal for subtle setups and thin braid.

FAQ
Is 2" too small for zander?
No. In pressured waters, a small craw can outfish bigger lures, especially with slow bottom work.
What is the easiest setup to start with?
Micro jig. Let it fall, hop it gently, and pause on the bottom.
Cheburashka or a classic jig head?
Cheburashka gives more freedom and finesse. A jig head is more stable and easier to control.
Can I fish it in snags and vegetation?
Yes. Texas Rig with an offset hook is the most snag-resistant option.
