"Whack em and Stack em" tag team style....

Took another trip across the river yesterday and brought back another cooler full! Me and my buddy met up with ATM at the ramp and he fished from his boat and us from mine. We both ended out day with 20 each and he donated his to us. Caught a few pigs yesterday and had a really nice trip. I've been running Gnats on about a 60/40 split on my poles and caught 90 percent of our keepers on them the last 2 trips. Biggest fish was 2.52 and the 7 biggest weighed 12.50.

Look under the member classifieds for Crappielogic Gnats. Donnie started producing these a couple of years ago and they work great.

Thanks handi, I have some minner criters that look similar, you tip them with minnows too?

Yep tommy...I got some critters too. Tipping with Minners is what they are intended for.

The critters were cloned after the gnats but yes they both work and are good products. Just tip em with minners and go to work.

Actually, the Rubber Gnats were cloned after the Minner Critter. The original gnat didn't have rubber legs and were hair instead of Flash Boo, but they both do work.

Agreed on the rubber part but the question did not ask about rubber gnats it only asked in general. I bought $300 worth of jigs from Jerry last fall and he asked me if I had used the gnats?? I replied yes and I liked them. He told me he had some customers asking about them and he was going to start making them. The concept was being used by Donnie and Jerry possibly improved on it with the rubber (personnel preference) but if you are wanting to argue the point of who came up with the idea between the two you are dead wrong in that the concept did not come from Donnie.

Well not sure where your at but I'm ready to get around some fish myself. Great catch there though. I saw the big bellies myself and thought eggs.

the concept has been around for years most fisherman called them teasers both donnie and I have our on version both are great quality products and they both catch fish !! we both are going to continue to make them so get the one's you prefer and go fishing !!! don't forget the minners !!!!!!!!!!!

actually I have pics of the rubber gnats in my photo bucket that date back to 2010 as long as were stating facts but its all good and the teasers have been around 100 years but all I did was tie on a sickle hook thats the only difference and like jerry said they all catch fish, fish with what you got confidence in, thats 95% of crappie fishing anyway

iam now doing about half of mine with a dbl barb tru-turn hook . started few month's ago tring the tru-turn hook i liked them a lot ,better than the sickle hook, with the dbl barb there not coming off! a lot of our customers has tried them and now are reording with the dbl barb tru-turn . the sickle hook is the sharpest hook on the market but it does not have much barb and they will break pretty easy !!!

i tie on whatever the customer wants don't matter the hook can get them all

Creek, please go ahead and lock this thread. It's going no where fast and it was only intended to be about fishing. Thanks!!
