Crawfish crank idea,maybe.
This may have been done before or it may be just crazy thinking,either way if it is just ignore it.I was thinking about making a crawfish imitating crankbait and at the back drill a hole through the bait(from side to side).In the hole epoxy in a skirt or (something similar) to mimic claws.I have seen some baits with claws painted on the bill,but isn't that backwards.When a crawfish is in defense mode he backs up so the claws will be pointing at the Bass or other predator.If you could make it a suspender it would stay put once it hit rock or bottom.I know they make cranks that are built in the shape of a craw but this was just an idea that hit me as I sit here at work  (really keeping my mind on my job  huh).Oh well it's late and theres no one on the lake fishing tonight to watch.....Robert

Re: Crawfish crank idea,maybe.
I think it would be awesome and more realistic. Why not give it a try and see what happens?

Re: Crawfish crank idea,maybe.
It is similar to an idea that is on my list of things to do, only my application was a pair of plastic frogs legs, pulled through the hole in the crank.
I think it is a very good idea (well I would, wouldn't I!) and I think that you should persue it.

Re: Crawfish crank idea,maybe.
Hold on Coley. I haven't seen a real rattlesnake since I left New Mexico in 1986, but looks like real rattlesnake hide to me. Did you hunt it up at one those rattlesnake roundups out west? Used to see them a lot lying around the sound suppressor pad soaking up the heat as sundown was going on. All the sudden, it they'd hear a noise, you'd hear rattles. The most I ever saw at once was 5, but my old supervisor claimed to have seen 7.
The good ol' days???

Re: Crawfish crank idea,maybe.
Ricam, Just be careful what soft plastic you use, some will still react with the finish on the crank, and some will still eat the plastic itself....you'll just have to find a soft plastic that doesn't. Sounds like a great plan......good luck, Mac
