Crappie.com - ICAST 2017 report number one with Bobby Garland

Yes I finally got to writing report number two of my 2017 ICAST adventure. So what happened next was I stopped at the Bobby Garland booth and was excited to be introduced to their new plastic bait called the “Pile Diver”. Look at this thing, it bleeds action! It's unreal. Designed to be dropped into brush piles. With all that wiggling and shaking it'll score some crappie for sure. I can't wait to get my hands on one. I betcha it'll long line well too.

Garland 2.5” Pile Diver crappie bait

The Bobby Garland 2.5” Pile Diver is designed for tantalizing action for fishing in and around a crappie’s favorite hideout – the brush pile.

The Pile Diver’s short, stubby arms provide a subtle quivering action whether the bait is on the move or at rest. They stay tight alongside the body, adding to the profile but not overpowering it.

The lure has a round, ribbed body that vibrates upon contact with limbs and other structure to give the entire body “life.” Trailing behind is the Pile Diver’s two streamer-like legs with just enough kicking action to tickle any crappie’s fancy.

The Pile Diver is available in several of Garland’s proven best colors, as well as some new-for-2018 ones.

Included among the colors are: Available colors: Black/Hot Pink, Blue Ice, Bluegrass, Cajun Cricket, Chartreuse Red Glitter, Electric Chicken, Glacier, Lights Out!, Live Minnow, Monkey Milk, Pearl White, Threadfin Shad and Mo’ Glo glow-in- the-dark colors Blue Ghost, Outlaw Special and Sunset.

There are 10 Pile Diver crappie baits per pack. MSRP is $3.69. For more information on the Pile Diver and all Garland products, visit www.BobbyGarlandCrappie.com.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention I met up with Tim Huffman in the Bobby Garland booth. Editor of CrappieNOW and great all around guy. He also has a bunch of fantastic Crappie Fishing books out. You can find many of them here: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...uffman+crappie

Outlaw is our test guy for the texas waters but I do testing up in Midwestern lakes, so you can send a bunch of samples and I will test them no charge!
