![]() ![]() The study of crayfish is called astacology. In the Eastern United States, "crayfish" is more common in the north, while "crawdad" is heard more in central and southwestern regions, and "crawfish" farther south, although considerable overlaps exist. Some kinds of crayfish are known locally as lobsters, crawdads, mudbugs, and yabbies. The largely American variant "crawfish" is similarly derived. The word has been modified to "crayfish" by association with "fish" ( folk etymology). The name "crayfish" comes from the Old French word escrevisse ( Modern French écrevisse). The term "crayfish" is applied to saltwater species in some countries. Crayfish feed on animals and plants, either living or decomposing, and detritus. Most crayfish cannot tolerate polluted water, although some species, such as Procambarus clarkii, are hardier. Some species are found in brooks and streams, where fresh water is running, while others thrive in swamps, ditches, and paddy fields. Taxonomically, they are members of the superfamilies Astacoidea and Parastacoidea. In some locations, they are also known as baybugs, crabfish, crawfish, crawdaddies, crawdads, freshwater lobsters, mountain lobsters, mudbugs, rock lobsters, signal crawfish, or yabbies.

I never used live bait a single time last year. We limited out, went home to clean fish and have a fish fry, but not before we stopped back at the store and cleaned them out of every last package of Micro Crawfish we could find. After 3-4 more fish, all the legs and claws were chewed off of my bait, so I threaded on another. By the time I had my 5th gill in the livewell, my buddy had a Micro Craw on his hook, and joined in the fun. 30 seconds later I had a 3/4 lb bluegill in the boat. The bait didn't have time to settle before I saw the flash of the fish. pink lead-head jig, and tossed it out under a slip bobber. The price was right, so we each picked a couple up.

I was tossing it under pontoon boats that were docked and the big bluegills simply tore the little legs off of it.

I wouldn't be surprised if this bait caught a record panfish in the near future. These little guys work so well you won't want to put them down I promise!! My family and I have absolutely slayed big panfish this year along with the occasional 1-2 pound bass.

I used a 16 oz black jig head, 4lb line on a 5 foot super ultra light rod. I purchased a pack of the natural color, received them today and decided to try them out. I have fished several artificial lures for bream with limited success and then I heard about the Micro Craw.
