Its basically a Jelly Jig with a bigger body. I like the Jelly Jigs just like they are and I like the Shad Stingers just like they were. It looks good though. I am going to go with the 2 in. Shad Stingers when I order as the 1 1/2 is just a little too small for my use.
know what you mean. I thought I would run that by him see what the people would think of it, no problem. We will fix you right up on your 2 inch baby Shad Stinger.Quote:

I really like it snake. I agree with G-3 on the 1.5 inch shad, it is a little too small. However I think with a smaller lead and or hook it can be very affective as well. Sometimes I do well with a smaller jig with a small split shot above it. So I think the 1.5 will work sometimes for me. I still plan on getting some of those molds. I really do like the jellyjig in the babyshad style.
that is a 1/32oz. Jig head yes you are exactly right for springtime and later on with the Stinger tail and thank you for your compliment.Quote:

As long as it catches the human eye though, it makes it worthwhile, atleast for some time lol.
if you change the tail like using a stiffer material will make the difference in the world between marabou marabou is good at times but and if the fish are not hitting something with the lots of action there. Wanting something a little bit slower action in the tail you switch over to hackle or nylon to stiffen up the action I'm sure that all my jelly jigs and the baby Shad stinger with the feathers will work you deftly want to carry a variety of them. When you are fishing, such as I mentioned , I know for a fact because I've done this time and time again about use in a stiffer tail action. It's like using plastic baits. Sometimes they're wanting little or no action in the tail or in the plastic bait. It's what every they've been feeding on did put some into high gear . Like most crappie fishermen. We carry a wide variety of different types of baits for them because you never know what they are wanting . I also depends on the time a year in with their is available for them to eat . It's versatile here because they feed on a wide variety of stuff. I know in the summer months. They feed heavily on insects. We've gone down many times in the evening when there was a hatch on the water or a lot of insect activity and you can see the fish rising to feeding on them also. We have a great population of freshwater shrimp which are pretty well microscopic but they are by the billions. If you shine a light in the evening hours when it's dark. It looks like a cloud of them all of fish has to do is open up its mouth and suck him three or 400 of them. And of course there is a great population of small crawfish in the snake River system. Besides the billions and billions of minnows as we do have a large population of trash fish . So one ever despond comes off and after they hatch. They go into a feeding frenzy. Sometimes this will last all through the summer and early spring so that's why we carry a wide variety of fishing tackle with me.Quote:
