I recently shared about summertime swimming amongst crocodilians. In it I was waist deep with this very common minnow. Schools were ten and twenty affairs. I watched as they swam away from me as I strode the bottom. Looked like a head with a taper down to nothing shape. When I got closer it could be seen swimming more enthusiastically. Three speeds.

Your jigs look like they have that head what tapers down to nothing profile. These minnows do not look like shad. Look like what locals refer to as Bull Minnows. Looked like a large crappie could get four or five with a good ambush. I have seen school of these on the surface. They were getting smacked around real good. So that Bull Minnow profile might be an idea for you.

You would need to cut away most of that tail material to get the acceptable length that matches a minnow. A sword tail at that length would then offer you the bull minnow profile.Your style would easy allow that.

I have enjoyed watching you dial all this stuff in.
