Innovative Firetail Technology
The Berkley Money Badger Firetail features a specially designed tail that produces a unique kicking action as the lure is retrieved. This Firetail technology creates additional movement and vibration that closely mimics a live crawfish trying to escape. The added action helps the lure stand out from standard crankbaits and often triggers strikes from bass that have seen many traditional lures. This makes the Money Badger Firetail especially effective when fishing around rocks, laydowns, and grass edges where crawfish naturally live and hide.
Realistic Ghost Red Craw Color Pattern
The Ghost Red Craw color is one of the most effective and realistic finishes in the Money Badger series. This pattern features a translucent “ghost” body with bold red accents that closely imitate the appearance of a live crawfish. The combination of translucency and red highlights provides excellent realism while remaining visible in clear to moderately stained water. The Ghost Red Craw color performs exceptionally well when bass are feeding on crawfish around rocky structure and grass edges.
