Thread: Yesterday wasn't a banner day but revelations made it worth the gas

The lure shape I call the carrot stick became a must-have lure in my box as of last week's blasting by many sunfish in 2.5 FOW. Color did' not matter as long as the retrieve was mixed with pauses and tod tip twitches.

Crappie bit it soon after:


I was'nt sure if the lime green would work, but as usual it was'nt the presentation that brought out the best in the shape/action combination. This color combo did just as well:


Since the day before, orange tails have been doing well though, again, shape & action & presentation matter most.

I attached a Crappie Magnet tail to a grub body for better action and in one area caught a dozen schooled sunnies. Man are schoolies fun. Catch one and the rest are turned on!

One more shape used the fin from a Fin S Fish lure and attaching to a grub body, the a photo in the next reply.
