wacky mini-soft sticks work as usual along with some others
Finally got out after days of hot humid weather and no breeze. This one lake I go to is no deeper than 14' and holds mostly small fish of any species: crappie, sunfish and bass. Fun nonetheless to be able to experiment with different soft plastics and lure presentations.
I poured this mini-stick in a new plastic that weighs more but is soft.

I was able to catch crappie and 3 other species wacky rigging it using a 1/24 oz jig head that hooked it in the middle and another surprise I never expect to work well - a hybrid finesse worm tail/attached to a grub body:

It looks weird but fish attacked it like no tomorrow! Too bad a pickerel ate it...
As usual Slider Worms worked:

...and another hybrid: Joker Grub tails added to a grub body:

First time I tried this mini-swimbait and it did great!

The claw hybrid and the stick on the left worked well.
