Big Bait...Big Fish

Kaw is where we started using 4" shad to crappie fish with. Have some problems hooking them though.

Nice picture and thanks for posting it. Use to have guys ask me why my tails on my jigs are so long, well here is just one reason! Mostly though because I like tails long! Actually makes a 1/32 Oz Roadrunner have more size which is why I use in spring most of the time.

Nice post Nimrod! Glad to see another Razorback posting. Several of us sure missed you guys not having your Spring Camp......maybe next year....

Here is a pic from last September. Not a crappie but you get the idea. This was a 3" Mo Magic on a 1/0 hook. Fish was about 5". I fish 2.5" - 3" baits.

While striper fishing on lake Towakini in Texas last year we couldnt keep the crappie off of 6" sassy shads with 1/2 jig heads. Big crappies. I like big baits and I cannot lie! I do try big baits, but I think the coditions have to be right. usually do better on smaller jigs

I usually use two and half or three inch jigs and i have had small fish inhale it....i kinda agree with EB on the idea is a fish gonna eat alot of small meals or one bigger meal...there are times when we have to go smaller but usually we fish the bigger baits.
