I've did it in my pond during the summer with small to medium sized crawfish. I hook them somewhere that they will stay good and alive, but stay on the hook good. I'd throw it out and if I didn't get a bite with in 2 minutes I would jerk the hell out of it just like you would a popping cork for specs, but I would use a regular cork. I would absolutely wear the bass out for a couple month time period, then after a while it pretty much shut down. I found that the bigger crawfish didn't work as well unless I'd break the claws off of them.

Used to fish them like this but I would only catch the occasional bass but my main catch was catfish and the occasional goggle eye. (Bayou Liberty - Bayou Sauvage inside the levee system)

However in clear water you might have better luck. In Arkansas this was the preferred bait for small mouth bass in the buffalo river.
