I usually stay with 2" or less in length soft plastics, but at this one lake, the fish are so aggressive even the smaller pan fish bite them.


The lure pictured is a hybrid I came up with measuring almost 3". It even caught perch and bluegill under a bright sky and in water semi-clear down to 4'. As long as the retrieve was slow (allowed by the 1/16 oz jig), the lure was slammed!
