Berkley PowerBait® Hollow Craw

Soft Plastic Crayfish Lure – Floating Realistic Craw for Perch, Zander, Wrasse & Sea Bass

The Berkley PowerBait® Hollow Craw is a highly realistic soft plastic crayfish bait designed to trigger aggressive takes from big perch and zander in freshwater, as well as wrasse and sea bass in saltwater. With its hollow floating body and claws, this craw stands upright on the bottom—exactly like a live crayfish defending itself—creating a natural and highly effective presentation that both freshwater and saltwater predators find hard to resist.

Why UK Anglers Choose the PowerBait® Hollow Craw

Engineered to closely imitate a live crayfish, the Hollow Craw pairs lifelike detail with Berkley’s renowned PowerBait® scent technology. The floating body and claws keep the bait in the classic defensive upright posture that real crayfish adopt when threatened. Whether you’re fishing a Carolina Rig, Texas Rig, Cheb Rig, Ned Rig or jighead, the bait remains buoyant and active on the bottom, maximising visibility and encouraging confident strikes. The Carolina Rig in particular allows the Hollow Craw to sit naturally above the seabed or riverbed, making it ideal for covering ground while searching for wrasse, sea bass, perch or zander.

Key Features

•  PowerBait® Scent Technology – Infused with Berkley’s proven scent and flavour that holds fish longer and encourages more aggressive takes in both fresh and salt water.

•  UV Colours – High-visibility UV-enhanced colour options that stand out in clear, coloured or low-light conditions.

•  Hollow Body & Claws – Lightweight floating design that lifts the bait off the bottom and creates a natural defensive stance.

•  Super Realistic Design – Detailed body, claws and appendages that closely mimic live crayfish movement and appearance.

•  Widely Applicable – Highly effective on popular bottom-contact techniques including the Carolina Rig, Texas Rig, Cheb Rig, Ned Rig and jighead presentations.

•  Floating Action – Body and claws remain elevated, increasing strike-triggering movement and realism on rocky ground, mixed bottoms and structure.

Ideal for Freshwater & Saltwater Predators

In freshwater the Hollow Craw’s upright posture and realistic profile excel for quality perch and zander. In saltwater the same floating crayfish action proves deadly for wrasse and sea bass when fished on a Carolina Rig or similar bottom setups over rocky ground, kelp edges and mixed substrate. The combination of natural crayfish imitation, floating posture and PowerBait® scent produces a high-confidence presentation that consistently attracts fish across UK rivers, canals, stillwaters, marks and coastal venues.

Available Sizes

•  7 cm – Pack of 8 pieces (perfect for finesse work, smaller perch and selective wrasse)

•  10 cm – Pack of 6 pieces (excellent for targeting larger perch, zander, wrasse and sea bass)

Whether you’re working rocky bottoms, gravel bars, weed edges or coastal structure with a Carolina Rig, the Berkley PowerBait® Hollow Craw delivers a realistic, scent-enhanced crayfish action that stands up—literally—and gets bitten. A versatile soft plastic craw for serious UK freshwater and saltwater anglers.
