Seriously, I have several of the various styles of crankbaits I use in a crawfish "pattern" or paintjob as well as several styles of soft plastic crawfish near replicas that look exactly like a crawdad and immitators such as tubes. All have been effective at one time or another. I have also used soft craws (live crawdads in molt where the shells are paper thin) but they are expensive and hard to keep on a hook, even specially designed hooks. In ponds, the Rebel Craw (a realistic looking crankbait)has performed well for me on bass and the Wee-craw deadly on big BG and HBG where no crawfish were present and not so well on large public lakes where crawfish were present...go figure.
