The smallmouth in my avatar were caught on big shiners fished on a split-shot rig, a #6 Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook and Yo-Zuri Hybrid.

    I have my best luck on nightcrawlers rigged natural on a split shot rig.

    My grandpa shared this one with me...soft shelled crawdads rigged in the tails.  They can't be beat!

    I wouldn't doubt it. They love crayfish. Never tried it though.

    Like Troutfisher said, softshell crawdads are exceptional.
