Thread: I have a question

I have a Question what is the top showing bait on the market two day.

I am so caught up in what I make and what others make on this site that I don't really pay too much attention to the big name brand plastics but I suspect that Bobby Garland Baby Shads are still a huge seller in the stores. I guess I should pay closer attention.

I'm not sure I quite understand what you are asking?

I’m more curious about what brand of plastics that you were buying. I’m sure is it Bobby Garland is at the top of the list with many of the guys out there but I would like to know if there’s any other plastics is they were really interested in or they are Getting

Used to use a lot of the Panfish Assassin Tiny Shad, and CrappiePro solid body Tubes. Then I switched to Slabanator Shad in place of the Assassin Tiny Shad, and Mr Crappie Thunder Tubes in place of the CrappiePro tubes.

I have purchased several different Bobby Garland baits, but don't use them as much as I do the Slabanator Shad & Booty Shaker & Hot Rod & Mini Rod bodies.

I use a lot of Road Runners and will start mixing in the Jelly Spin variations that I ordered from Bob's Jigs

I suspect BG leads the way -- then Crappies Tubes like Southern Pro or other various brands -- and Slider Grubs rounding out the top three.

I wonder though if a pack of hooks for fishing minnows outsells everything combined.

Oh ok. I use a lot of bobby garland, mostly the baby shad swimmr ones. But I also use some of southern pro's colors in their stinger shad. They have a blue/black laminate with a chartreuse tail that is dynamite. The southern pros are terrible as far as plastic strength, they are 2-3 fish baits so I don't use them too much unless I catch them on sale for $1.

Other than that, I'm still old school a bit.. I'll toss a tube around quite a bit. Oh and I use strike king jokers a bit when the fish are eating big baits.

I haven't really gotten into using custom crappie plastics yet, probably will try some this year. I used to make my own years ago but there wasn't hardly anything out there for crappie molds other than small grubs and the twitchy minnow. I caught A LOT of fish on the 1.75 twitchy minnow years ago.

You need to try some of snake rivers baits. Like slabprowler said they are soft and durable. And bob is so easy to work with. You pick a bait and give him a color combo and he will figure it out for you. Great service also.

Hoping to give them a try this spring!
