The XPS McCreature perfectly mimics a young crawfish. This high-action XPS McCreature soft plastic produces loads of deadly action on a drop shot or Carolina rig, but is also effective trailing a jig. The XPS McCreature's lifelike 3-D eyes and appealing natural translucent colors maximize its strike-provoking realism.

Your best bet on the Columbia for getting your pole bent over backwards is to go for a world record walleye and use the McCreature on a jig! Walleye tend to like a lot of plastics and some of the tactics are similar to smallmouth. You want to find pools and eddies with a decent depth (10 ft) and the front side of current breaks. Anything that breaks current in deeper water can hold walleye.
If you're from Illinois, it's a fantastic walleye and smallmouth bait. I mainly use it on a jig, 1/8 oz for shallower than 15 ft and 1/4 for deeper. 1/2 for a decent current in a river. You can also dropshot this bait for both species.
3/0 or smaller hook...smallest weight you can, with current weather (wind) and depth you are fishing...bait works well for me in shallow summer pattern when bite is really tough
When using this bait on a drop shot I use a Spro Power Swivel size 4 or 6, an Owner size #2 mosquito hook (to nose hook the soft bait) with the lightest drop shot pencil weight possible depending on the wind. General rule for me: increase in weight = decrease feel of the bite. Good luck to you.
Bass Pro says it's supposed to be a crayfish immitation, but it looks very similar to a minnow, and the tail can even pass for a leech. I use it for walleye very effectively.
The McCreature is a crawfish/baitfish hybrid creature bait. The body has a similar profile to baitfish and its tail gives the impression of crawfish pinchers. A great bait for drop shottin’.
