I have 3 baits that produce the most, the first would be chicken parts as mentioned above, the second is bacon, finally I have had great success with marshmallows placed in a bottle with holes in it, as they break down they put a good scent in the water and attract the crawfish.

I know this is an old post but I thought I'd chime in for those who may still be looking. We spend a good deal of time crawfishing during season down here. Most commercial fisherman use commercial pellets and fresh cut bait. For the recreational fisherman the 2 most popular baits are fresh fish carcass and beef melt (cow spleen). I can tell you from years of crawfishing the fresher the bait the better. The more oil and protein it releases the better.
