Oh, I'm not doubting they might not work, and work well, in fact, I've tried rubber worms and crawdads myself on the Sol Duc, I just don't have a solid river fishing foundation to start with and don't put in enough time river fishing to get a good feel for what is working and what isn't... I spend too much time in the salt.

I'm sure there will be a day when I come across some guy catching steelhead with a pink banjo minnow, I just can't guarantee I won't laugh when I see it.
