    Default best bait today


    Yesterday we caught 16 in about 3 hrs mainly 13-15 FOW and the best bait was an org/chartruse tube. Went back this morning same places and this was the best bait after it was worked on as you can see. Had to cut off 3 rings in the front and doctor up the tail. Could get bite on a full size bait but no hook-ups. Don't know if its called a 3" or 4" twister tail. Got them at a salvage store, Hudson's. Might as well quit at 10, think we had 3 throw-backs and 1 keeper after the wind got up, east south east about 10 mph.

    That color is working well with me to. I just use a little different type of twister, but same looks.

    Just wish they lasted longer. Mine get beat up after just a few fish and need replacing.

    On Toledo Bend lately the locals have been buying my Silver/Lt. Blue/White hackle tail jigs by the bunch.

    Blue and white is a good color most likely in all waters.

    Best part is you can catch way over 100 crappie on a single jig as long as you don't lose it!

    I've been useing this color for the last month with good results. It's called an orange scalehead with a pumpingseed tail. I guess they think it's a small crawfish.

    When use a twister tail like this, do you normally hang a minnow on it also? You just the twister tail?

    I never use minnows, just don't like to mess with them, know there are some days when I would catch more fish but just don't use them. I'm sure a lot of folk do. Went back by Hudson's today and they had Kalin grubs at a quart bag for $1.99 so I picked up 2 more bags of twister tails, should die before I run out.

    Hey guys.
    Among all of the colors of grubs, tubes purchased recently. I got a bag
    full of the Kalin "Tennessee Shad" color for crappie to use on Road Runners.
    Has anybody had any luck using a the silver / grey curley tail combo to
    catch'em?.

    Rick.
