The crab lands naturally and feels realistic on the bottom. I’ve used it in both sand and grassy areas and it’s been catching fish consistently. The soft landing is a big plus.

Great detail in the body and claws. It moves well in the water and mimics a real crab. Works well in sandy areas where I usually fish.
