Does anyone use this in the south? I know they were initially ice fishing lures but I am interested in fishing these vertically with a single pole while tightlining with my other four rods on a rod holder. Any information on results? or Maybe how slow or aggressive to jig this would be appreciated.

Here is an interesting video

I haven't tried one yet but I plan on getting one and trying it around the overflow pipe in the lake I fish. The water is 20' deep there and not a lot of hang ups but I always catch crappie there.

They work on everything else during the open water period up here in the northeast, so there's no reason why they wouldn't work down your way. I think an even better bait might be a blade bait (aka: Silver Buddy) in the 1/4 oz. size, or less. I think Johnson has one that's only 3/16 oz. too. Should be deadly on most panfish species.

Although I've never done very good with them, my buddies have done very good with them on both crappie and wall eyes.

Have done well thru ice for walleyes and perch..dont ice fish anymore tho..now don't tell everybody that they work just as well in 'soft' water too

I bought a few of them to try too, I haven't found any fish away from brush yet to try them on.

I have a buddy that fishes the Cabelas NWT and they used those and rippin raps on Devils Lake SD for walleye and ended up catching slab crappie, jumbo perch and northern pike. I catch walleye and crappie through the ice with them and plan on taking a few to Louisiana in March for crappie. Figure I'll show them something they've never seen before

I used blade baits when I lived in Tn. They work excellent around the timber but have a short life span. I would imagine the jiggin rap would do well in areas around transitions and dropoffs.

yea that was my plan to introduce some of the crappie in my corner of Louisiana to something different

I'm going to try it this next two weeks while all the crappie are deep in the creek channels on our shallow lakes

I used them recently and the yellow perch liked them.
