Thread: plastic minnows

We keep our minishads soaked in Gulp Alive shad/shiner in plastic containers. Seems to work well stiff lining or under corks.

Do you soak plastic baits in the stuff?

I'll assume the Garland/ Gene Larue Mini-Shad (and MoGlo...hint hint) baits are plastic as well as trout magnets (not crappie magnets...hint hint chart and white), so...yes. the Gulp Alive shad/shiner solution does not deteriorate these plastics as far as we can tell (2-years in the containers). Not so with the stuff that Gulp Minnows are packaged in however. Also...hint hint the 1/32, 1/64/, and sometimes 1/80 oz http://www.basspro.com/White-River-F.../product/3085/ jig heads are a good thing when the fish are looking for a slow drop. Lottsa thumps to ya Bud!

Just thread it on the hook like you would a jig

Also if your fishing straight down I like to hook them right at the nose to give more action as you jig. Like herpin stated rigging like a regular tube or jig will cast and work no problem...have found that I needed a smaller jig head though or I should say hook size.
