If its the sliders I'm thinking about they are like a swim bait .. They have a flat tail similar to a cocaho minna for salt water .
I've used them a lot . I use the black body with chartreuse tail on a 1/16 ounce pink jig head . Most of the time during the summer only but I've caught a bunch of fish on that .
Fish em anywhere really , downed trees , boat docks , bridge pylons , basically where ever you normally catch crappie .
