Crawfish color ideas for Louisiana....

Recommended Posts

I know crawfish (crayfish to some :D ) come in so many colors. I'm looking to make some beaver type baits for a guy in Louisiana that says "Just send me something in crawfish color."

Any ideas???? Suggestions??? I've already put some of my "Crawfish" color in the mail to him but would like to hear other ideas!!!

Thanks!!!

most of the craws out here where I live are actually transplanted Lousiana swamp craws that have taken over from the original native species. From trapping experiments I have reached the conclusion that most of the craws 3" and below are a green pumpkin color with some orange on the tips of the claws and a small amount on the legs as well .

After they get bigger a reddish color "oxblood" or smoke with red flake matches them good in the adult red color phase. They are very adept at different color phases to match the local conditions with blues, black, reds,purplish ,and green shades posible

hope this helps -jigmeister
