Crustacean
Weighted Crayfish
Bottom crustacean
Carp · BarbelDeep
A weighted crayfish imitation for carp and barbel grubbing along hard, stony edges. Crawled slowly along the bottom or hopped over gravel.
Fish this when
Carp or barbel over gravel bars, rocky margins, or cobble runs. Larger fish respond well — crayfish are a high-calorie, natural target.
Why it works
Crayfish are abundant in many European stillwaters and rivers. The weighted body sinks quickly and the clawed silhouette is immediately recognisable.
