    Default I need custom color "twister bodies", HELP!


    I need some custom color twister or curl tail bodies, 2".
    It was around 10 years ago that I realized just how incredibly effective a SMOKE tail is. The following year they were no longer available from Mr Twister! I settled for black, the next best thing, for many years. Then I found 2" SMOKE bodies (slightly larger) from Bass Pro. I refuse to talk about how they have worked for me.:D
    ALL the good things in my life have eventually disappeared. When I opened up my new Bass Pro catalog this year something led me directly to the page with my favorite jig bodies. AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! NO LONGER AVAILABLE!!!!
    See what I mean?
    ANYBODY KNOW SOMEONE WHO CAN POUR ME SOME 2" SMOKE BODIES? That is SMOKE, not smoke with sparkes, or glitter, or speckles, or salt or anything else at all, JUST SMOKE.
    Yea I know, smoke is very hard to see underwater. That is why the fish have to actually bite it to find out just what it is!
    YOINK, he's on.
    Sorry for my Crappie attitude.

    Good morning, I got called into work for a case and I had seen your post as I hope this will help you. I use the Manns Bait auger tail in smoke and they still sell it. Look at www.mannsbait.com for the auger tail grub in 2 inch. Good Luck and I better get back to work...LOL...

    They carry a smoke 2 inch spring grub - BPS brand. I am also a big fan of smoke colored grubs. I still like to call them twisters because mr twister was THE lure when it was introduced and I slaughtered em on them. I always have to think to remember to say grub instead of twister. I think you'll find that the sparkle smoke grubs will work just as well if not better. I graduated to the sparkles and never went back.

    See if any of these fit the bill

    The above ebay dealer has 3 packs of 50 for only 1.79 cents each - I'd say buy him out

    The tennessee shad slider is awful close.

    The above link is to BPS 2 inch spring grub - I've used them and the are great - there is a pure smoke listed

    This last one is a newer lure I want - just thought I'd throw these in there and broaden your horizons a bit

    Good things come to those who bait.

    First things first.
    Every time I go to one of the posted links, my Crappie.com login fails and I need to log in again. I have never seen that on any forum ever. Did something change while I was away?
    You guys are too much. I can't believe the responses I got already. Thanks, and I'll land a big one in honor of each of you!

    Bad news:
    1) Thanks wrwest. I went to e-bay and decided to buy some. It was my first ever e-bay purchase - attempt. The payment page will not work for me. Apparently, I am legally committed to buying it, but until i can actually enter my credit card info without my computer dropping the page, they can try to squeeze the money out of my tires.
    2)Mann's auger tail grub 2" smoke does not appear on their website. Thanks anyway fish_detective, really.

    Good news:
    1) When I realized that Bass Pro dropped the 2' spring grub from their catalog, all colors, I immediately went to their website to double check. It was GONE. That was January. I checked the link you sent GRIZZ and it is there in many colors, including my favorite! Anyone want to lend me $10,000 so that I can buy the entire stock and the rights to make them before they become unavailable PERMANENTLY? Really, I'll believe it when I get my hands on them. GOD, all this for those stupid things. If I told you EVERYTHING in my life is just like this, would you believe me?
    Sorry for my Crappie attitude.

    Just learned something new, Pomoxis. Maybe it will help, maybe it won't apply. I've had some trouble with log-ins and didn't know what was going on. A more computer-savvy co-worker said go to privacy settings (right click on internet) and accept all cookies. That did the trick. Then you can go back and delete all cookies after you're out.
    Interested in 1 1/2" smoke?
