Big Splash Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Here are some crawdads from a test pour in one of my new plaster molds. I sculpted the originals from plasticene. They differ in size more than the pic shows. The top 'dad is 4" and weighs just over a half ounce, while the bottom one is 3 1/2" long and weighs in at 1/3 oz. I'd like to hear some feedback on what you think of this bait, as I live in a 'crawdad free' zone. Is there a season when crayfish work better than others? Do you guys think a craw should be super soft, or should I use a little hardener in the mix? Salt? I would like to hear suggestons for crawdad colors, and perhaps someone will share a good craw recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlizard Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 One of my prostaff guys really likes green pumkin with a dark orange for a unique craw color. He says they look like that this time of year. Nice mold by the way!! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrs5kprs Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 1) Green pumpkin pepper/green flake with a watermelon/hi-lite green vein 2) MF brown watermelon/black, purple, green flake...quite a bit of the w'melon so it comes out darker than rootbeer brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Darn good lookin' craws!! I'd say that color you got there would do just fine; maybe a black tail or underbelly? You can experiment with different color claws too. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlystreamer Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 I was thinking the same thing, but didn't want to say anything because It's a little out of my field. But I thought the color looked pretty good as is. kink of natural I'd say. They look awfully good just like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
