I always fish them hooked throught the tail, with the claws dangling out. I always rig it weedless, just like a texas rig. The jigheads they give you are fine, not great, but they will work. When You buy your next batch, just buy the jig-heads seperate, or I mostly will just use a standard wide gap offset hook, with a bullet weight pegged, instead of the weighted jig heads. And I believe you'll be buying more, I really like the YUM brand, especially there crawdads, which are truly realistic. Anyway rig it just like you do any t-rigged bait. I prefer to fish them around rocks, but they work anywhere. Just replenish the scent every so often on the bait. Some folks spray it about everytime, I usually spray it about every 5-6 casts if I'm not catching much. Go catch some Hawgs.

the Eakins Jig is a great craw, never tried yum. Yesterday I did buy these red crawfish that look incredible there made by Storm, also bought a holographic soft plastic crank made by storm. figure I give them a try. but those crawfish look real.

Sorry. The only thing I use craws for are jig trailers.
