Dan Gapen, Sr. spent 8 years tying, testing and retying this NEW lure.
It works on any gamefish which, feed on crawfish. Nothing attracts and
entices fish to strike better than natural deerhair and feathers.
Combined these features with the patented, SNAG-FREE wedge-head of this lures relative, the
UGLY BUG jig, and you’ve created a monster fish catcher.
Smallmouth bass fight over the “Real” crawfish jig, brook trout devour it, walleye can’t resist
it, and largemouth relish it. There isn’t a gamefish which can’t be caught on it; this includes
SALTWATER species such as bonefish, weakfish, snapper, spots and all the others which prowl
your favorite flat.
WORKING THE “REAL” CRAWFISH JIG:
Crawfish are a bottom dwelling critter. Any imitator must be worked down in the rocks
where crawfish live. Rocks provide protection and a place of ambush for
food and home for this bottom creature. The “Real” crawfish jig, due to
its rock walking snagless head, allows the angler a chance to imitate the
crawfish in looks and action.
Work the “Real” crawfish jig
with the current in rivers. Such
action best imitates the natural
action taken by crawfish as current
sweeps them downstream. If
your retrieve is upstream, do so in as slow of an action
as possible. This will keep the jig in contact with bottom
70% of the time. When working rocky lake reefs,
try working the “Real” crawfish jig from the deep into
the shallow areas. This best represents the actions
Caught on a black
taken by crawfish when pursued by feeding fish.

“HOT”

ANGLERS - IF YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT ONE-IN-A-MILLION
LURE - GAPEN’S NOW GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY ONE!
The Fish Fry was birthed in 2008 when The Ol’ Man cut a 2” Flub Dub in half,
reshaped and rerigged it to immitate a huge school of newly hatched crappie fry that the
bass and walleye were feeding on, in a clear backwater bay in the lake he was fishing on.
Up until then, the only lure he’d been successful on was a tan-colored freshwater
shrimp.
Reaction of the walleye and bass, in 8’ of crystal-clear water, on the newly cut down
1” crankbait were easily tracked. The first cast with the new designed Fish
Fry produced a near 2 lb. walleye and nearly every
cast thereafter produced a fish to follow. Dan had
come upon a new “HOT” bait. Now it was back to
the workshop to produce a prototype.
That was the beginning and within a year the
new creation was filling stringers of panfish and
limits of gamefish!
