An imitation crawdad artificial fishing lure has a jointed hard body with a weighted hard abdomen articulated to a buoyant hard cephalothorax. A pair of soft pincers are interchangeably connected to the cephalothorax, which pincers can be swapped with others for changing pincer styles. A single one fishhook is interchangeably connected to the cephalothorax, which fishhook can be swapped with others for changing between heavier and lighter gauge fishhooks, or for sharper fresh fishhooks. Preferably the cephalothorax has simulated hard pincer stalks for alternatively holding the soft pincers in a swimming position or else flaring the pincers out into a guard position. Soft walking legs might be interchangeably connected to the cephalothorax as well.
