Straight tails : Panfish Assassins, Slabanator Shad, Slab Commander Small Fry, Bobby G Baby Shad, & Mr Crappie Shadpole. (over the last decade or so)
Prior to that, for several decades, it would have been "tubes".
OK Folks, I'm not sure if we can set up an actual poll or not here, so I'll just ask the question:
Under most conditions, which plastic jig dressing is most productive for you overall?
1) Curly Tails
2) Straight Tails
3) Tubes
4) Paddle Tails
5) Creature baits
I think this covers the gamut of styles available to us all. Wondering what your "go-to" is?
As far a I'm concerned, day in and day out, the straight tailed plastic (i.e.: Bobby Garland's Baby Shads) consistently produces for me, over the other styles available. This could be interesting!

Feathers
Hand tied stuff has spoiled me. However, on minner days, I bite off a piece of soft plastics (whatever in reach) the size of a crappie nibble and stick it on the hook to keep minner on, especially when KY double rigging or casting out. This technique has been around a long time, but so have I. It works and don't melt in the mouths (or water).

I like straight tails for lakes and ponds, curly tails for current.

I will also second the feathers. Next to the straight tails it's probably my second favorite.
