I made a few crayfish traps and set them out in a nearby stream. Caught zero crayfish but the one trap was full of jumbo size tadpoles. Took a dozen fishing the other day and they were useless, like rigging jello. They would slide off the hook and there did not appear to be anyway to cast them even with a float.

Has anyone used tadpoles and, how do you rig them.

After three tries I released the remainder as I felt bad killing them for no purpose
 
I think I read something a while back that said tadpoles have a horible taste and not many fish will even try to eat them. Ill see if I can dig up the article.
