I don't where he was fishing Graham but I watched the same episode. I have tried the fake crawdads without any luck what so ever. I have not found any evidence that crawdads occur naturally in my pond (never actually saw one in the pond and have not noticed any crawdad holes). For me it could be that either (1) the bass in my pond have never saw a crawdad either and therefore are not interested or (2) they are waiting for me to dip the little lobster in drawn butter before the dine on it.

Do you guys have luck using the crawdad soft lures?
