Small jigs

Lately though tail design seems to have made the difference when the bite was slow yesterday.



Thin flat tail and thin prong tail grubs when fished very slow at different depths caught these and 15 others yesterday. Curl tail grubs - no strikes because they have to be worked at a certain speed vs the other types that can be paused & twitched at the slowest speed. It's almost like I had to tease fish into striking a lure that was in the strike zone longer. Should have tried those with a float for maximum time in place.

The bite was much more active two days before and more quality fish were caught (13" crappie/ 10" on average). Of course 1/24 oz did better than 1/16 oz. which might have to do with the overall finesse profile and action.
