Of all your baits?

Nice fish. Good to hear your bud may hold off a little before selling!

Great looking baits. Gotta ask, what kind of feathers are the speckled black ones and what is the black tail material?

Speckled is pheasant. Black is just a piece of chenille. I keep my ties simple. I’ll post some more later if you’d like to see some.

1/16 oz weedless sickle hook jig and a bobby garland baby shad style plastic. Blue ice and black/chart and my top two colors.

In the spring I will go up to 1/32 oz, in the middle of winter I will switch to an 1/8 oz jig and a bigger plastic or jigging spoon.

It is hard to beat that Blue Ice color

I'm a jig and minnow guy. I've tried artificial baits, but I must smell real bad or something. Whatever it is, they aren't interested in my artificial presentation.

When it comes to other species, I have no problem landing big fish on lures, jig, etc. Just not crappie.

Slather a good coating of Slab Sauce on those artificial baits & see if that helps.

Seriously though, I'm subject to having many different "flavors" on my hands when out fishing (oil, gas, food, nicotine, etc.) and I still catch fish on jigs. Not that there's anything wrong or "cheating" about using live bait along with artificial bait, as I've used both separately and in combination for several species over the years. What really matters is you catch fish, have a good time doing it, and return home safely to enjoy the fruits of your efforts.

That’s what it’s all about!
