Awesome info guys!  Wow the color selection for the Paca craws are overwhelming...haha.  Do you guys usually rig it with a jighead?  Ill be fishing whatever crayfish i end up getting from shore so im just trying to figure out what my best option is.  Also are you guys using these craws as trailers or by itself?

My favorite is the confidence bait finesse craw followed by the Yum F2 craw papi

Right on. I have a bunch of craws zoom yamamoto etc but clean up with the gizit tube. I've been taking 1/8-1/4 bell shaped weight jamming them in the nose and t rigging and its been very effective and generally snag less and weedless.

 

Same here! It helps a lot in the rocky river I throw tubes in; I lose them a lot less rigging them this way than with traditional tube inserts. Lube up a little egg shaped sinker with some megastrike, slide it up in there then t-rig with a 1/0 round bend. Proceed to annihilate smallies.

Big bite yodaddy,I also like the missile baits d bomb.

Check out River2Sea. They are a little pricy .... But very good: http://www.river2seausa.com/3-larry-dahlberg-series

I've noticed that the vast majority of soft plastic craw imitators sink rather quickly. The YUM F2 Craw Papi (my fav), however, floats, which slows down the fall. Just another factor to consider when choosing a craw/creature.

Strike King Rage Craw and the Berkley Havoc Pit Boss.

I like YoMama!   Not into YoDaddy though.

Zman Crawdadz, green pumpkin/orange claws rage rigged with some crawfish Megastrike. I bet you could catch every fish in the lake on one bait.

These Mega Craws will be available soon

Rage Craws are my favorite true craw.  I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but I really like the Berkley Chigger Craw.  I also love the Reaction Innovation Sweet Beaver.

Zoom ultra vibe speed craw in bullfrog and the Culprit Incredicraw in watermelon seed.

I agree with everyone on the Rage Craw and Netbait Paca Craw -- but I still have a thing for the Gene Larew 4" and 6" Salt Craw. Doesn't matter if used on Texas rig, Jika rig, or as a jig trailer.

As mentioned above Chigger craw, Paca craw, Rage craw, and Pit Boss are all great craw imitators. One other lure that is way under used imo is the Havoc Craw Fatty. That thing is a big fish slayer for me. 

finally got me a pack of rage craws and i love them on my swim jigs...smashed a local pond last weekend with that combo never had to switch poles

i like berkleys chigger craws and powerteam craws as well especially with the hog tonic

Are there any baits that are similar to Fat Ikas? I cannot find them locally and want some for this weekend. I dont want to order off ebay/online. Thanks for the help.

Rage Craw all the way.

Rage Lobster Falcon Lake

Wave Worm Tiki Crawdude.  These things flat out have been catching fish lately.  Been using them as a jig trailer on my Seibert Jigs.

To me my hottest crawfish bait is the Rebel BIG CLAW crawfish crankbait.

The only plastic crawfish I have ever tried is the ones that came soaked in hot sauce. I still have them in large and small sizes. These look real down to every detail.

Berkley Havoc Pit Boss

Berkley Havoc Craw Fatty

Zoom Super Hog

Reaction inovations Sweet Beaver

Rage Craw/Lobster

Power Bait Chigger Craw

Paca Craw

Without a doubt, the best is the Rage craw. In my opinion, nothing compares.

I also like the Paca craws in bama craw color.

Go to *** and select creature bait under soft plastics, you will be set. For me it is about making a bait imitate a crayfish more than the actual bait manufacturer. Look up what color your local crayfish are and buy baits in a similar color. Take those baits and drag or hop them along the bottom and you have your craw imitator you are looking for. If you cannot find out what crayfish are in the area buy some in green pumkin, brown or black to start with.
