This is pretty much all the info that I have, a photo. I apparently pulled it from its original bag and packaged it in a quick use binder.
I used them this weekend and absolutely smoked the fish with this plastic.

Can anyone ID it? I have no clue.

Not quite, but looks pretty close to a Berkeley Mud Critter, maybe a Zoom Ultra Vibe Speed Craw?

Don't think so, but they would probably work just as good. I don't know any that have legs like that one that I can recall.

You’re holding prettymuch any craw-bug ever made, so I doubt it really matters the exact bait, but that is a cool color. Watermelon red is hard to beat and the blue is gonna give it an extra bluegill flash. Fish were on a bluegill hatch pattern. Odds are anything watermelon or greenpumkin with blue/purple/orange accent would get bit, and dipping the legs in chartreuse would get bit a little more.

Looks like the love child of a Googan Bandito Bug and a Zman Turbo Craw. Never knew soft plastics played Marvin Gaye and got it on.

I would typically agree, however caught 16-2 with my buddy this weekend. Game him the last one like this and he then caught 6.

Do you have a local shop that you occasionally buy from that might have their own line of soft baits. Or maybe someone local to you that makes and sells baits on Facebook or some other for sale type site. The reason I ask is that is a little unique profile with the curled back flipper legs, no extra pinchers and claws like a Zoom power chunk or Berkley Meaty chunk, the color blend is unusual too, kinda peanut butter and jelly but different than anything I’ve used.
My guess is it’s either a pretty new bait if it’s made by one of the big companies or it’s a special design run by a smaller, maybe local company because I did not see it on Tacklewarehouse and they handle most all well known advertised brands.

I did some googling and it’s exactly the same as a bait called a “Karl’s amazing baits kicker craw”, but I can’t find that color.

ETA: apparently I was wrong, but Karl is definitely making an identical bait as the bass pro one, just different colors. Karl’s amazing bait

You guys are awesome with all of this feedback. I have ordered online from various shops, I went back and pulled every single order confirmation in my emails and this bait is in none.

Good find cbr, you nailed it. I guess that’s why TackleWarehouse don’t have it , it’s a Bass Pro Shop special. You must have some of them!
OP, there’s your answer

Help when I can baw.

Reaction Inovations makes the same color. My son fishes it a lot. I only have a dual injector so I can't make it exact but I come close by using blue pearl on the brown side.

I kinda feel like a dumbass for not knowing that it was a simple basspro/cabelas brand bait.
