Whats your favorite crawfish rig? 

I take my Grandson out & tail hook a live crawfish, put a split shot about 8 inches above it, I use a hula grub on a round ball head jig, he catches 10 smallies to my one, he says to me "grampy why don't you just use these" I don't know what to say to him, but his smile is priceless, so I guess my favorite rig is a tail hooked live crayfish. LOL

My Favorite Craw Rigs for River Smallmouth Fishing are a Winco's Predator Craw in MudPie Color or a Zoom Ultra Vibe Speed Craw in Green Pumpkin Magic.

 

I Fish them Rigged on a Mister Twister Weighted Keeper Hook 1/8 OZ with a 2/0 Hook.

Yamamoto Hula Grub on a football jig head. The color is no secret, #176.  Right Glenn ?

The Yamamoto Hula Grub in color # 176 is a powerful good bait!

Reversed Fat Ika or just a plain ole' tube.

4" Crazy legs chigger craw, green pumpkin, 1/4 oz Texas rigged

Rage Tail Craw, UV Speed Craw, Etc on my home made Jika Rigs.

Reaction Innovations. 

This strange cross between a tube and a senko.

 

Confidence Baits 1/8oz Draggin' Head jig and a PTL 3.5" Craw D'oeuvre or Texas Rig Jig in Kitchen Sink or Deep Melon Pepper.  If they are super finicky then I switch over to the 1/8oz micro Draggin' Head and a Confidence Baits Little Tube in either River Bottom or Raven (Black w/ Purple Fleck).

Football jig/Rage Craw. Of course the Rage-Rigged Craw gets plenty, too.

A tube on a stupid rig, Chomper Hula on a football head with a wire V weedguard, or a beaver bait on a weighted swim bait hook.

How about a YUM crawbug in blue on a blk/blu sk bitsyjig. These are absolutely killer. The crawbug is hollow so I get a jig that has a rattle chamber under the hook shank. I then cut the very tip of the crawbug tail off. And rig it on the hook so tht the rattle chamber fits inside the hollow body. U then have a very lifelike craw rig that even makes the click noise that real craws make every time you move it.

A football shaky head with a rage craw on it.  This little set up kept the skunk out of the boat Saturday.

_{I like a GYCB fat baby craw on a dropshot, or just a tube.}

Baby Rage Craw on a shakey head.

Rage Craw on a weighted hook.Works great in the river.

D&M Custom baits 5in Flappin Craw on a 1/2 jig.

Rage Tail Craw or Lobster on a punch rig, or on a big jig...

Rage craws/lobsters are good on anything.
