    Default Bobby Garland


    What size/kind of hook do y'all use on a Bobby Garland baby shad? Me and my partner have been using Luck-e-Strike 1/16 oz hooks fishing on a dock and we can't hardly ever land a crappie that's in the 2lb range. Don't ever have trouble with smaller fish only big ones. It's like when we get them to the surface it just pops out of its mouth. Any suggestions?

    I use #2 red sickle hooks on all of my jigs. They work great with Baby Shad and the bigger hook is great for lifting larger slabs out of structure. I use the jigs with the wire bait keeper.

    I used #2 sickle 1/16 oz last time I went out. It seemed to slow the bite considerably so I switched back to the smaller hooks. You ever had that problem ?

    I've cleaned over 200 crappie in the last 60 days so I haven't noticed a difference except better hookups.

    May just be those big ole slabs don't like you much since you are a "Bassingfreek"

    Panic attack at the sight of a big fish? It's only natural you get a rush of adrenalin in those instances.
