- First, check tracking of the lure by making a few short casts. The lure should track in a straight line.
- If the lure tracks to one side, the lure needs to be tuned.
This is done by gently bending the front eyelet in the opposite direction that the lure was tracking.

- Make these adjustments in very small increments until the lure tracks in a straight line.
- Once tuned, familiarize yourself to the feel and movements of the lure with a few short casts.
- After battling larger gamefish lure may need to be tuned again.
- If the swim fins interfere with the hook or the line, they can be trimmed or completely removed. Trimming or removing swim fins does not affect lure performance.

- When fishing in current or tidal flow always cast up current, cranking and pausing the lure, allowing it to swim naturally with the current.
- The CW Crab® is absolutely life-like. It looks, swims and even rattles. Add crab scent for the ultimate deception. Apply scent to swim fins or inside swim fin holes.
- The CW Crab® packaging is designed to act as a scent tray. Open the package around the outer ridge carefully to preserve the integrity and detail of the package. Add your scent to the swim fin dimples in the top portion of the package shell and place the lure into the packaging allowing the lure to absorb the scent.
