What do you use for crayfish bait?

Common baits for crayfish include pieces of meat such as chicken necks, fish heads, and bacon, as well as fish parts. Some anglers also use commercial crayfish bait or even canned cat food to attract them. The key is to use strong-smelling and oily items that will draw crayfish in from a distance. It's best to place the bait in a trap or a mesh bag to keep it contained while allowing the scent to disperse.
