Bobby Garland Announces New Mayfly Crappie Bait The coming-in-July Bobby Garland Mayfly insect-profile lure is loaded with features appealing to multiple senses that crappie rely on for feeding.

FORT SMITH, ARK. (April 22, 2022) – Great fishing secrets are hard to keep, and word has gotten out that a new Bobby Garland bait – The Mayfly – is on schedule to “hatch” in July. So rather than letting rumors confuse the facts, here are full details about this cool creation in advance of its summer availability. The Mayfly is a 2.25-inch insect-profile design that stays true to Bobby Garland’s reputation of product innovation specific to crappie fishing. This new soft-plastic bait is loaded with features appealing to multiple senses crappie rely on for feeding.

The new insect-profile Mayfly crappie bait is available in solids, laminates and head/tail color combinations, including (left to right) Monkey Milk, Cajun Cricket and Spring Fling.

The Mayfly’s distinctive silhouette serves the species’ focus on vision and sight. The bait’s flexible appendages and tail produce vibrations that crappie can “hear.” The lure’s light fish-oil enhancement satisfies smell and taste. Collectively, these features bring the Mayfly to life. The importance of lure profiles for triggering strikes from stubborn crappie has been brought to light thanks to forward-facing sonar’s popularity in crappie fishing. The technology has allowed anglers to witness firsthand how crappie react – or fail to react – to different lure offerings. The Mayfly not only offers a distinguishable alternative to shad shapes, but it represents another common prey group for crappie: insects.

The Mayfly’s solid body accommodates a wide range of jighead styles and sizes, from 1/32-ounce up. The bait’s elongated tail is segmented with outer rings for strength, and tapers to an end fitted with spindly twin appendages that wiggle enticingly, even at rest. The Mayfly’s streamline design makes it a versatile choice suitable for a wide variety of crappie fishing techniques, including finesse jigging, dock shooting and spider rigging, to name a few. Among the 12 colors offered are solids, laminates and body/tail combinations, including Bobby Garland favorites Blue Ice, Bluegrass, Cajun Cricket, Chartreuse Red Glitter, Electric Chicken, Mayfly, Monkey Milk and Mo’ Glo Green Lantern. There are also four new colors exclusive to the Mayfly series: Spring Fling, Neon Nymph, White Ice and Mo’ Glo Glow Worm.

Mayfly is available in 12 colors, including 4 new ones: Neon Nymph, Spring Fling, White Ice and Mo' Glo Glow Worm. Mayfly is packaged in a new style bag featuring a snap-close hinged lid and a high quantity of 50 baits.

Also unique to the series is the Mayfly’s special packaging, featuring a snap-close hinged lid, pleated sides for roominess in protection of lure shape and appendages, and a high quantity of 50 baits. The Mayfly 50-count bag will retail for around $9.99. Look for the Bobby Garland Mayfly at crappie tackle retailers beginning in July 2022. The timing coincides with the fishing industry’s annual ICAST tradeshow, which typically marks the new product year for most tackle companies.

Thanks for the heads up, Slab. I bought some mr twister nymphs to try, and those will work well with 1/64 jigs or bare hooks. These look worth a try with the 1/32. I’ll have to check the site to see how big they are.

A mini version of those would be awesome for Bluegills.

Look for ice fishing baits from various manufacturers if you want smaller creature baits. Lots of options already out there.

I think those will be an awesome addition to the Bobby Garland line and slab slayers.
