I tried other baits during the tournament, but I truly caught every fish on the Mad Man Crawfish tube. After this catch, anglers around the country were seeking these hot baits. Demand quickly overcome supply, making the lures one of the most sought after baits in 2001. The lure is simply a soft plastic copy of a crawfish molded into a tube bait configuration. Being hollow allows for a slow fall presentation, and it also allows the angler to insert a rattle into the bait for an added attraction.
Anglers can also insert foam or weights inside the tube to change the rate of descent.
The hollow design also allows a hook to quickly penetrate the bait easily, increasing hooking percentages on fish. Mannsville professional angler Edwin Evers is also very impressed with the lure. Being the only local angler to ever qualify for the Bassmaster Classic, Evers can be considered a viable authority on successful lures. The Mad Man crawfish tube looks great. Its claws flare out.
