You have minners on them!!!!!

Anyone ever try those "minnow teasers"? Never really seen them before but coming across alot of reports with people saying they work. Are they a seasonal thing like summer or fall/ when the hatch is a little bigger?

Use em whenever the fish want em, few weeks back at Washington if it didn't have some color tipped with a minner it didn't get bit! Arky Jigs, Crappielogic or Meatgetter all offer them in a wide assortment of colors.

We'll I'll keep an eye out for some. Seems like this time of year alot of the local bait shops are just giving there products away. Usually it's junk but the saying goes.... ones man's trash is another man's treasure

Pm me your mailing address and I will send you our catalog we offer 200 color combinations of them.

I have been having a lot of success on the "spear tail" style baits like the Slab Slanger or Slab Slay'r and I fish a lot of tubes too but I don't get too hung up on brand names as much as do on the specific bait colors. For me, I want nice opaque colors especially chartreuse for fishing the muddy waters down here. Like the Southern Pro Glow Charteuse color Versus, say, the Arkie glitter chartreuse.

The way I see it after studying some recent research on a crappies eye, in muddy water especially deeper than five or more feet, the fish can't hardly see more than a couple of feet at best. But, the fish can see a shadow or silhouette passing over them for quite a ways, and crappie as we know feed up more than not anyways. So I want a nice deep color and fat bait to create as nice and defined a silhouette as possible. Now I'm not saying color doesn't matter when they get close, but I feel I can attract one from farther away this way.

Think of it like this equation:

Big Bait = Big Fish

Simple and straightforward.
