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.

Natural Phantom Craw Color Pattern

The Phantom Craw color is a dark, realistic pattern in the Money Badger series. This translucent finish features natural dark tones with subtle crawfish details, providing a natural appearance that bass recognize as real forage. The Phantom Craw color excels in clear to moderately stained water and is particularly effective when a more subtle presentation is needed. It closely imitates common crawfish species and performs well when bass are feeding on crawfish in rocky or vegetated areas.
