Went Old School

Kicked around the lake today looking for shrooms,NADA,but had to make a few casts also.Lost my roadrunner,so dug aroung my satchel to see what I had.
Came up with a packet of those .97 cent wal-mart/K-mart cheap green maribou jigs.They freaking nailed them.Just drifting under a float,kinda windy so I let mother nature do the work.Not big numbers,but all were at least 12-15 inches and just hammered them...All this time I've been dicking around with "speciality" tube and jigs.

Ya never know:confused::confused::eek::eek:

nice work never know?

Great job on going old school Cook, glad you got them!

Way to go Cook. was you up by the new bridge.

Gosh Cook, those sound like some really nice one's.

The ole "doll flies" have caught many a fish and continue to do so whenever they get the chance.........nice fish cookie.

atta boy

My grandpa used to troll doll flies around Lake Cumberland all the time. He called them his "Crappie baits". He was partial to white ones.

Nice job Cook, the fish probably haven't seen those in a long time. Congrats on the good catch.

They tore up pretty quick,the yarn"body" unraveled quicker than I remember in the past.Kinda nice to go back to the simple things.

Thats cool, I suppose the "old" ones appear to be a "new" ones to this generation of crappie.

Well done, cookie. To think I have wasted all this time and effort is unsettling. I've thrown away a hundred of those things over the years.
