Like it, myself.
Whether you call it a "carrot", "bullet", or "Hot Rod" .... that style of plastic bait WILL CATCH FISH. The member known as Slabeye makes the Slab-a-nator jigs, and calls his version of this shape a Hot Rod. He makes them in 3" - 2.5" - 1.75" (the 3" & 1.75" are recent additions). (see the last page of posts here - http://www.crappie.com/crappie/-memb...-crappie-jigs/ )
They're perfect. Nice thing about the bullet is action variety:
Twitch them fast like you would a Zara Spook and the lure zig zags - darts back and forth; twitch in place, the lure's tail trembles; use the rod tip to hop & drop ; use rod tip or reel handle to pull the lure forward between the other actions glidelike.
This stick below demonstrates the same exact action of a wacky rigged Senko, but must have a small jig to pull it down faster enough that the tips quiver.
