I use small plastic crayfish as well. And as mentioned cheap. I like 'em mostly 'cause you can always match the hatch at any particular lake with them as they come in assorted colors. They've outfished all other crayfish patterns I've used... this doesn't include woolly buggers or any of the patterns that mimic a lot of stuff. I'm talking specifically tied crayfish patterns to match what's in some of my local lakes.

I've gotten some pretty strange looks and comments from others using these guys, but when the rod starts bending it turns eyebrows. Just started using these this year and I do love 'em.
