Thread: Mister Twister Nymph deadly on gills

By accident I've discovered a soft plastic bait that panfish inhale. I use a Mister Twister 1 1/4" exude Nymph (Mossy Green & Pearl color) with a sliding bead head over a size 8 hook on my 3 wt rod. It doesn't get much more fun than that.

Thanks for the info , will look for them at Wallyworld?

Please post a photo.

You can find them on the Mister Twister website. I tried the chartreuse flake ones last year with decent results. I think they're a good lure.

I like the looks of this bait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the thread!

This topic comes up occasionally at FAOL. A couple of guys over there used this very same rig -- small Mister Twister with a bead head. They claimed it was just beyond deadly. I put it on my "ideas to try out list", but have not gotten around to it yet.

Others have even thrown good-sized plastic worms on a fly rod for bass. The late Tom Nixon was a pioneer in this. Jack Ellis, author of Bassin' with a Fly Rod, does this as well.

i was looking thru the grizz catalog and just found these the other day. any one try out the shad or the crawfish yet?

I've been very successful lately with a 1/100th jig head (#10 hook) and Powerbait Wigglers in chartreus. I've tried the pink and white with less successful results.
That combo on the 3wt is fun!!!
