Drum eat pretty much anything other gamefish eat, personally for big ones Id be using good size gizzard shad or crawfish.

In the wild they eat alot of crayfish but I have also had caught drum using cut bait in areas with fast moving water like beneath flowing spillways. I catch them all the time while cat fishing at lake Ray Roberts Spillway. Its $7 per person and no fishing licence is needed or $70 per year for all the TX state parks. I cast up stream with no little or no weight using cut bait or fresh caught shad and always end up with a few drum. Also Very tasty fish that are easy to filet. Not sure why they are considered a rough or "trash" fish. I love to eat the drum more than catfish.
