Anyone ever use these... They look crazy realistic!!!

I either use these... or real crawdads.  Anything else fails in comparison.

I use them and like them. I've had great success by inserting a little glass rattle into the tail section and then smearing some Pro Cure Craw on them.

It says hooks are not included, so how would you guys rig these baits and what hooks would you use?

They suggest a size 6 Owner drop shot hook but I use the Daiichi Bleeding Bait Drop Shot'N Nose Hook in size 4.

Just run the hook through the little wire groove at the nose, you'll know what I mean when you see them in person. I tried running the hook through its nose as well as the wire but found that they seem to get torn up easier that way.

Hmm, first time I looked into these things.  Looks like I might have to buy some  ;).  How many fish does each bait usually hold up for and any specific color recommendations?

As to how many fish each, thats a hard one to answer. The bug tends to go up the line on its wire when fighting a bass so they usually dont get torn up all that bad.

On the color, it depends on the color of the craws in your area. I like the Brown, Greens and Watermelon myself.

Sounds good.  One more question, do most hits come on the fall like senkos?  I watched that video T-rig posted and thats what appeared was happening.

For me the answer would have to be yes and no. While I have had many hits on the fall I've also caught many bass slowly crawling it along the bottom as well as dead sticking them.

Tip: As you witnessed by the videos these things fall away from you so be sure to feed them slack so they will fall the way a live crawdad would. Just be sure to watch your line, if it jumps, moves sideways, or does anything you didnt make it do, reel down, take up the slack and keep pressure on the bass. You dont need to use a bone jarring hook set with these things.

Hope that helps.
