GB GONE Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 I know crawfish (crayfish to some ) 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!!! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigmeister Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
