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.
Bold Special Red Craw Color Pattern
The Special Red Craw color is one of the most effective and eye-catching finishes in the Money Badger series. This bold red crawfish pattern provides excellent visibility in stained, murky, and low-light water conditions. The Special Red Craw color excels when water clarity is reduced and bass rely more on contrast and vibration to locate prey. It closely imitates common crawfish species and is particularly effective during the spring crawfish spawn and fall feeding periods when bass are heavily targeting crawfish.
