Decided to pick up a collection of Bobby Garland 3" Slab Slayers last week. My cousin has been using them at LOZ with good results. I like the larger size of these, we've never had a lot of luck with the smaller slab-busters at LOZ, (although I like the garlic scent).
I painted up some orange and white heads over the weekend too
Also our regular go-to LOZ grubs, (right) The Red-White with the clear sparkle tail is $$ all the time.
The 3" BG slab slayers are killer on Truman. When it gets hot I tip them with a minnow or Gulp 3" minnow with great results.
Congrats on your luck. Wooly beavertails are a good oversized bait on LOZ, too, FWIW. Black/pink combo has been great in that particular bait for me.
Good looking baits. How do you like those weedless jigs?
Love them at LOZ. I dont like pulling brush around when hung up. Sometimes crappie are huddled by a little snag of brush that will move easily so I dont like to disturb them, and dont like retying all the time.Quote:

Thanks, I'am giving some thought to trying them.
If you think that the fibers might be too stiff, too long, or too many of them, you can easily trim them with nail clippers.
Where do you purchase the slab slayer jigs at?
You can order them online here,
Crappie Pro
Any of you fellas use these weedless hook guards? Started using them last year, and they are excellent. I don't like to fish with weedless jigs all of the time, and these are easy to throw on a jig without having to re-tie.

I use the small size most of the time. They are made out of the same plastic that your jigs are. Sorry, they are $2 per 25.
Thanks Nate, I think I might try to get some of them they look like they would do the job, thanks again.
Did someone say "baby shad"? :D
Ain't they purdy??

Bob those look good.
Bugman = Suck Up!!! :D
I'm easy but I'm not cheap.
Can order them on line from BPS, called a Hook Guard and have been around for probably 15 years or more. Found it best to push the hook point all the way through the guard to make a pilot hole and then pull the hook point back into the material, get better ratio of hook ups that way.Quote:

Fine by me, I don't believe in thread hijacking...I think of it as evolving conversation. Life would be boring if all conversations were divided into specific topics. :DQuote:

Them grubs on the right could be one of several different brands. Southern Pro, WOW/Atta Grubs and several others make them. Here is a link to the Southern Pro baits at Everhart's. They come in a 50 pk.

Flash back reading this thread.
did not look at dates thought war was over??
Thank you sir!
3" BG .....all time favorite.
I have gone to weedless jigs heads almost exclusively, especially when casting over brush. I've gone multiple trips in a row without losing a jig and don't notice any less bites probably because I'm rarely hung up. I don't paint my heads but yours look good.
