    Default Lil Rascals (crazy angler)


    Anyone have any luck with the Lil Rascals from crazy angler? If so what are your favorite colors... I have used his slab bandits and like them pretty well but was curious about these Lil Rascals

    Yep, I have had good success with the Rascals! I fish a clear water lake and my favorite colors are Acid, Black shad, and pearl truse. I use the Bandits a lot more, but the rascals have a place in my boat.

    Got some samples from Robert when I ordered my Slab Bandits but I have not tried them yet.

    Slab bandits are as good as any bait I have used. It seems really hard to put the Bobby Garland Baby Shad on the back burner long enough to use the SB. I also prefer to use marabou jigs a lot. That's where my user name came from !

    Did you know that the original "Doll-Fly" jig (circa 1952) had Polar Bear fur

    They were the first "jig" that I ever used.

    Tennessee native Thompson was the inventor of some enduring lures, especially the Doll Fly, a jig that local outdoor writer Bob Hodge notes became the cornerstone of a company that was "at one time, believed to make more artificial baits a day than any other bait manufacturer. Unless you fished by yourself with only hooks and a worm, you knew what a Doll Fly was." Apparently at its height the firm made 75,000 lures per day--a staggering 27.5 million per year.

    That is a intersecting fact. I had to look it up. Thanks Crappie Pappy

    I was reading that article. When I came back to comment you had posted it. Interesting Fella. Said he cornered the market on polar bear hides and had a supply that would last him 5 years.

    What type of jig head are the doll flies made of?
    If you cast it they will come.
