Hand tied stuff has spoiled me. However, on minner days, I bite off a piece of soft plastics (whatever in reach) the size of a crappie nibble and stick it on the hook to keep minner on, especially when KY double rigging or casting out. This technique has been around a long time, but so have I. It works and don't melt in the mouths (or water).

Since becoming a C.Com member, I have adapted/adjusted to being not dedicated to anything tackle.
