Thread: Slider, Fle-fly, and Road Runner

All three are site sponsors, all have been around forever. I set out last year to see if I was missing out on using a great bait . I decided to put them in a head to head trial ,to see who would be the winner . The Slider family has been a staple for me for years (especially the 1 inch). I used only the 1/8 or 1/16 till getting hooked on the 1/32 while using a 1 inch Slider (mainly black). Then I was looking through the u-tube fishing section and discovered the go-go minnow . I heard for years about how live bait was the best way to catch large red ear . Many of the old timers that fish Tippah , Trace, Elvis Presley, Lake Monroe,Lake Lee(now Lamar Bruce)Had convinced me that besides wearing overalls and a straw had with the green visor built in, live bait was a must . I moved back to the Northeast 8 years ago and have picked up the passion again of red ear fishing. After a year long study I am ready to announce the true winner ! It is ----------"Me" . Fish these three baits as they are sold "or"mix match them up with a slider or a go-go minnow on a 1/32 roadrunner head you are going to love the results . Likewise a Road Runner that is dressed at the factory needs no help enticing a bull red ear to nail it . If you have been led to believe that live bait is the only answer think again .
