    The slip cork is a little easier to cast to tight places. When out of the water, it falls down against the jig and makes a nice compact package. Just my thought, hope it helps.

    Default switching colors switches fish?

    Went back to the same pond for a few hours Tuesday aft. Caught a couple of catfish and 10-12 bream. (I hate it when they're coming so fast you lose count). Kept the five largest which are in the pic. Caught most of them and the three fish on the right using the crappie bug in the pic. Lost it to a large bass or a catfish and switched to the black/chartreuse tube. As soon as I switched the baits, I started catching shellcrackers in the same spots I'd caught the pumpkinseeds. I assume the shellcrackers were there all along; just didn't like the color of the crappie bug.
    Water was a little discolored with a couple of feet of visibility. Fishing 15 inches under a bobber in 2 to 5 ft of water. Don't know the water temp, but it's an 8 acre pond so it warms quickly. Periods of clouds and sunshine.Thumbs Up

    Thank you, strippickle, for very politely correcting me. All five fish are shellcrackers; two males and three females. However it worked, before I changed baits, all I caught was females, these three plus three or four smaller. Once I switched (no more red head), all I caught were males, these two plus two or three smaller. Don't know why the choice of bait should have divided them by sex, but it did. Caught the females over a two hour period, caught the males in about 15 minutes; almost a strike on every cast...

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    Oh I really was not correcting you. I was just admiring the fish. My dad would take me to a pond that was loaded with them. The picture brought back memories of my youth.
