Where can you buy this at.I see them on crappiemagnet.com.I guess thats the only place.I dont know if they sell em around here.
wal-mart has them I used them a few years ago they worked pretty good with a small float or if you could find a pipe or something with water rushing out never had much luck with them after I started fishing in boat though
I used them alot a couple years ago. If you use the smallest size 1/64 in a color that is good for a particular place, they can be killer. use 4 lb. test line or it won't be nearly as effective. also I used very small bobbers about the diam. of a nickel with a little peice of lead built on the bottom, they are yellow. best colors for me were: mealworm gold, white/pink tail, orange, and also brown. they will catch anything. open up the hooks gap a little , but be careful because they will break. I caught alot of crappie on the mealworm color, and some pretty nice redthroat bream on the orange or rootbeer brown. also used smelly gelly liquid scent anise/craw I believe. crappie don't take the cork down alot of times, you will just see the cork kinda set down in the water a little lower.
CrappieMagnet is one of my Club sponsors and yes they work great on slab. Here is their site Trout Magnet Store and Sore Lipper Online Community for Crappie Trout Lures | Troutmagnet.com or Trout Magnet Store and Sore Lipper Online Community for Crappie Trout Lures | Troutmagnet.com

From the picture I saw on their site it looks like a tube bait without the tails cut.

They can be deadly on winter fish looking for a smaller offering. I used to use the trout magnet for crappie and they worked great. Just recently saw they offer a larger version for crappie. Don't be afraid to try the smaller trout magnet on those slow days.
By the way they are a solid body bait very similar to a beetle body, but smaller.
