    Default Lure info


    Many years ago a fisherman told me that his favorite crappie lure was called a Fat Gitzit. Never seen or heard of it other than from him. Anyone familiar with it?

    So I guess they are nothing more than another brand of tube jig. Thanks guys.

    One trick I remember folks talking of was a small piece of sponge soaked in attractant on the hook shank and inside the tube. Cutting edge for me at the time.

    I think some folks inject them with crappie nibble paste in the cavity
    that probably helps it get bit to ….
    one thing for certain a good tube jig will get it done in lots of spots

    In 1964 when Bobby and Garry Garland worked together to design a new plastic lure called the Gitzit.Bobby's company was Bass N Man,Garry was Canyon Plastics,They are the fathers of tube jigs.Gitzit is just a large tube jig.
    Funny how history works out that the father of tubes for bass fishing now has a crappie line of baits named after him,
