I use em on a 1/8 oz pony head I pour or 1/8 ball I pour with 1/0 or 2/0 sickle hooks.

Oh yea, a minnow on it too!!!!!

They also have different colors called Walleye Tubes and a solid body version called the Magnum Tubes.

Who makes The solid body magnums?Where can you buy them?

Minners, they smell like a minner, they look like a minner, they are a live, and move like a minner, and I think they taste like a minner. So my choice is a minner.....

This is what we in academia call a "well reasoned" response. Good answer.

I have all size jig heads. I have them custom made by Brad Chappell's son Hunter and of course my buddy Satdoc's Sickle Jigs. Most with a 2/0, but the smaller ones with a 1-1/0.

Mine too. With a Minner Critter or a jig most of the time.

Grenada and Sardis are not stained they are muddy most of the time. Those lakes are hard if you are used to fishing clear water. Believe me I grew up fishing clear water and those lakes are tough on me. I'll take 50 feet of clear water anytime I can catch fish in that.
