There is no question that striped bass love crabs. It is an easy and protein packed meal that is also a viable food source. Crabs are easy picking for bass. Here in Maine we have a lot of (invasive) green crabs which the stripers love to forage on. This is a pattern that I developed which is essentially a combination of Del Brown's "Merkin" and Enrico Puglisi's "EP Crab."
