Crab imitations and redfish

Have you ever caught redfish on crab imitation lures?

Crabs are the primary prey species of redfish and there are several quality redfish-based crab lures on the market but they don’t seem very popular. I have caught some bull reds on the Gulp! crab featured in the photo below but rarely see anglers in Texas using crab lures.

Have you used them? If so, how did it go?

An inquiring mind wants to know.
