Kentucky Lake green curly tails

Ok I gotta know what is this and why all of a sudden all the fishing reports claim this is the "It" to catch crappie with? Anyone feel like putting a pic up so I can see what this magic looks like? Probably been using it for years and didn't know the hip name for it!

This hasn't "suddenly" happened. I have lived within ten miles of KY Lake al my life and have been using KY Lake Green curly tails for probably 30 years. All my stuff is in the boat in my shop so no photos.

The last couple of years, my go to bait while longlining has been a 2 1/2 inch curly tail that is emerald green with silver and red flake.

So are they just a green Curlytail grub then? One poster said emerald which I would say is a darker green?

[justinp61]

Yes, darker green.

Something on the order of this:





It's a lime / emerald color

Ones we use are hunter green with black fleck. 2" with a wide tail.

So a darker green with Speckle is the Kentucky Lake Green variety. As suspected I have been using these for years, just didn't know the right name. I had been lurking around the forum a good while but somehow not heard of the moniker till this spring. LOL. Thanks all. Is it legal to use these in other lakes (Kidding)
