Hi,

Guess it's always a case of whatever works, but what is the generally accepted

method for rigging and fishing those small rubbery Crawdad imitations ?

e.g.:

a. Always fished as a jig ?

    Ever just used without the jig, with just a hook rigged thru them, and dragged along the bottom ?

b.  And, I see now that the ZMan products have these Crawdad  imitations that are buoyant.

     So, what's the best techniques for using these; again, as a jig, or... ?

BTW: Fish ever find, and take, Crawdad's that are not on the bottom ?  Or, Crawdad's always on bottom ?

Thanks,

Bob

I would guess that most use them:

-with jig head - most skirted, some naked

-Texas rigged

-drop shot

-weighted hook

-some sort of swinging hook or weight

-carolina rigged

 

You're correct...it depends and there's no rules.

I primarily use them as a trailer on a skirted jig, on a shaky head, or on a weighted hook

 

Funny, though, I have had no luck with the more realistic looking pre-rigged crawfish lures

they work well as trailers on swim jigs too....

Spot Remover standup jig!

Texas rig... Always works for me

You can rig them nearly any way, they all work depending on the conditions.  

Rage rig most of the time,Pretty well snag free.
