Weighted worm hooks work best for me.
Then just drag them on the bottom.

The rigged version, like the one in the above picture is nose hooked with either a standard size 6 bait hook or I use a Red Daiichi Octopus Hook myself. When rigged this way they fall away from you due to the placement of the weights. Then you crawl them forward, like a regular crawfish walks.

They also have a non rigged version that you can use as a jig trailer or tail hook and split shot them.

A few tricks that I like to do are insert a small glass rattle, put crawfish attractant on them and inject some air into the claws so they stand up in a defensive posture.

BTW, Yes, they do work.

Huddleston also makes a shaky head just for the huddlebug. Tacklegiant in Tucson will have the huddle bug and shaky head in stock this week.

Kind of pricey when there are lots of good Crawfish imitators out there.
