I would have to disagree there Joe. I catch over 100 on one tube sometimes. Depends on tube and rigging sometimes. Got one tied on that has the color ate off after 5 trips but still tied on and was still catching.

Here is a jig I fished 5 days with same plastic, it has a 1/4 oz rigged outside unlike my normal inside rigged 1/8.
Those Southern Pro Baits are great stuff.

You must be catchin' Piranha Joe, LOL! If you've ever used rubber before you would know that it is quite durable. It is nothing for us to catch 50+ on one tube or solid body jig. Where we waste jigs is from changing colors....if we don't get a bite from a certain color or type we change it and it goes into the used jig pot. Most times they are still perfectly ok but we don't put them back into the jig bag. We keep more than 200 different colors, sizes, shapes, ect of jigs in the boat and may go through literally dozens of colors/combinations before finding what they are wanting a particular time (which is why it is called fishing). And yea, we have started keeping Jerry's Minner Critters in our arsenal because we want to be ready for anything and they have been proven on Big Crappie. (Like a friend said recently, 3 lb crappie don't get that big by eating plastic). Once the color, size, shape, depth, and presentation are figured out it's down to just watching the rods and getting ready with the dip net, LOL! Sure, I'll be the first to admit there are times we don't get them figured out......but the fun is really in being out there and trying anyway!
