    Not what I see when I go to their website. I see 50 bodies for $4.99..........in about 20 different colors.

    If any of you guys do buy them. I am not affiliated with this company at all, but I have used their jig bodies & lead heads. The bodies are tough and you'll get a pretty good life out of them. My favorite colors are Dude Special, Tennessee Shad, Bison, Butla Gold & Midnight Blue. I like their 1/16 oz heads. I have a pack of silver chrome and a pack of shiny gold in my tackle box now. Good luck to you all......

    I do not care for the Slab Magnets. To me, they're like bigger Bobby Garland baby shad. I do like the regular Crappie Magnets like I pictured. I think you'll like em too. Dude Special & Tennessee Shad are hard to beat!

    Maybe they will bite this one……

    Those jigs also look similar to the newly hatched mayflies that are out right now also. Thanks for the pics and info.

    FYI, there’s a lot of grass shrimp shells on the surface at Clark’s Hill right now. The hatch must’ve already started.

    Butch, can you share the picture you had? I didn’t take one and you posted a perfect one a year or two ago.

    I might have been wrong calling them grass shrimp. I think what Ive been seeing is the larva of mayflies. Crappie are already consuming them now.

    I still think Keith's grass shrimp jig looks like a great imitator for a mayfly larva too. Haven't tried them yet but hope to soon.

    The reason I called them grass shrimp was because Ive seen those two little beady eyes in the back of the mouth in the throat of crappie before and they reminded me of shrimp. But if you look up the mayfly larva you will also see those beady eyes. Do a search on mayfly larva and you'll see what I'm talking about. Also when you cleans some crappie you will see brown matter in the stomachs of the crappie. Every now and again you will see a few that hasnt deteriorated into pieces yet.
