This guy makes them and they are what a lot of the bait shops around here stock.

You can give them a call and see if you can buy direct.

They had tons of them at Malcolm Creek Marina and I believe I saw them at fast Eddies on US 68.

I know Judy's on HWY 68, KY Lake Outdoors in Calvert City and probably Kens in Lake City have them. You can also make them yourself. Use curly tail grubs and cut them to the size you want. Then take a needle and some spinnerbait skirt strands and make the legs.

I found some on internet Looks just like the one I saw But they are a 1/4" round 1" long. I could get round Char. legs and make. They came in a Pack of 50 and were 2 cents each I think that would work whats you openion. I think the one on Vidio was 3/8" thick and 1 " long

If you can get them for $.02 each I would buy them. One local bait shop I checked last year wanted $12.99 for 25. I told them thanks but no thanks.

You've got to think about how big a bluegill or shellcracker's mouth is. You get any bigger than 1/4" and it's going to take a whopper to get the bait in it's mouth.

The ones that I buy are about the diameter of a crappie tube jig and 3/8 to 1/2 inch long.

Bought some the other day at Malcolm creek. Tough to get out to the marina store tho cuz of water!

Are they Best of Best with Crappie Nibble
