Anybody ever use this bait to catch Crappie? watched a fishing show the other day and they were catching Walleye with them. It claims to catch more fish than a live minnow but I'm not buying it. lolAttachment 147969

I have wondered the same thing. But at around 20 a jar I haven't tried any yet. They have some that look like minnows also. It would be nice in the cold not to put on minnows!
Yep for the price of a small jar you could buy a lot of minnows, was wondering if they stayed on the hook better? Might buy some and see for myself. :popcorn
They are pretty tough baits and stay on the jig real well. They won a One Pole artificial bait only tournament here on Truman two years ago. I have used them to tip a jig with and caught fish. Not sure they will out fish the real deal.
Used the 1 inch size. Fished with them below bagnel dam. It was the only thing they were biting on. Wouldn't touch a minnow. Have to have a little current with them. And like everything else sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. But on that day they worked real well.
I've caught plenty of crappie along with a lot of other fish, salt & fresh on the 3" gulp minnows. They not as good as real but they better'n non-scented baits especially when the crappie want something s l o w. They are expensive but crappie don't normally tear 'em up ....... 1 bait can last thru 30-40 fish. If the white perch get involved they might last 2-3 fish.
I have had the same experience. Don't always work but sometimes they flat hammer em. They do last a long time depending on how you have them hooked. just make sure to take em off cause when they dry up and shrivel onto the hook it's a pain.
Thanks for the input guys!!
bet if brian is slow trollin them that would produce enough current??Quote:
