We have always had a minnow bucket in the boat during tourneys and we did use them as needed. We just never have had to use them for pleasure fishing. So what if we come home with half a pound less fish than we would with minners? We still usually have way more than we want to clean. Sometimes I think that minnows may give enough advantage on a particular day to put the numbers over the edge for a win.....maybe by less than a tenth of an ounce but still a win is a win. Rest assurred that we will also have all the plastics in all the colors along with all the different style and color of jigheads and roadrunners available to use with or without minnows, whichever is working. When the money is on the table you got to be ready for anything they want!!!
Better get some of them Minner Critters. It's just a jig without weight on it. Makes it easier for a Minner to move it, but they do catch fish without a minner just like a bare jig!!!! I do catch more, and bigger fish using both tho!!!! Good Luck at Columbus all of y'all!!!! I used to fish there all the time during the Crappiethon days, and have some good areas ifn ya want em.
P.S. WB and Minnerman caught em real good last week there using a minnow and a cork in the pads. You can find that thread on the Sippi board.
