    Re: (Jighead61)

    Interesting site, thanks for the link.

    My problem is that the two crawdads I've seen were both Battleship Grey with pale red and pale blue accents. No lures I've ever seen matched that, and neither does any craw picture I've seen on the site. Can anybody explain that? Please?
    Don't bother me, I'm screwing for virginity.

    I killed a 12-pack just to watch it die.

    Crawdads tend to mirror the surrounding colors. In grass they'll be more like dark green pumpkin to watermelon. In clay banks - they'll be more red/brown/orange. It could be those are the best matching colors to their surroundings. If you can't find - you can buy bare jigheads and use smoke skirt colors to finish the jigs. Chances are the folks at fishingskirts.com or barlows will have skirt materials that will get very, very close.

    Interesting link. I like to turn over rocks at the ramp and see if I can find some to check the colors, but that aint always possible.

    As time has gone on I have narrowed my choices down to just a few colors. I honestly think 90% of the time you could get away with 4 colors or so.

    Exclamation My personal favorite micro jig

    One interesting way I have found to mimic crayfish is a micro jig. I prefer the Tungsten finesse jig called "The Snak" from Onida Outdoors. I can put a link to it below... It is essentially a jig that is the size of a Ned rig that you put a new rig sized trailer on the back of. It comes through cover great and I can feel the bottom with it in up to 15ft, even though its only 1/4oz. Give it a look!
