Anyone ever used this stuff on your crappie jigs? Thinking about trying to find some to add to my jigs, believe it is more a saltwater thing but may work.

From my understanding they only dissolve in saltwater...........Never tried them in freshwater............
They are only for saltwater - although a freshwater catfish bait is in trials. They do work incredibly well.
Tackle Monkey got me on this one too. Bought a package this spring to tip my Crappie jigs with. Crappie & White Perch like them but when you hook a fish they usually come off. For the price of them Crappie Nibbles or a piece of nightcrawler are much better & cost a lot less.
Well, has anyone used cut-up Gulp on their jigs in place of the nibbles? I just get tired of putting nibbles on after each bite or even touch.
Come on SteveJ, I know you've been reading the posts. Get a bait pump man. I can normally catch 10-15 fish without grabbing the pump, heck normally the bait from the pump outlasts the tubes that I use. Great product for the price.Quote:

I have tried the gulp also with poor results. The Bait Pump is a winner. A jar of nibbles will last you a long time.
A bait pump don't work too good with a hair jig altho I'm picking up a money order for one the next time I'm in town.
Put a dab of Cod Liver Oil on your hair jigs when the bite is light and you'll notice a difference. Put some in an empty eye drop or nose spray bottle for easy dispensing. It will stay on your jig for several hours so it saves a lot of time and trouble.
Agree Jerry and I don't use cod oil, but I do have some shad oil. I use feathers more than hair, but it should give hair jigs a good smell to them crappie. I bought a bottle of 100% shad oil and still don't use it near as much as I should.Quote:

I would have never thought of using wd-40 as an attractant, I bet it keeps the hooks from rusting....
Did yall know how WD-40 got its name? They were trying to create a chemical that would displace water and it took them 40 times before they got it right, get it, Water Displacement 40, just thought i would tell yall incase you ever wondered how they got the name.
And thanks for the tips on the hair jigs.
I don't recommend using WD40 as a "attractant" ... even if it does work. It's a petroleum based product, used to "displace" water (rust preventive) and as a lubricant. Petroleum = oil ..... oil & water don't mix. ;) Better to use some biodegradable substance, or a non-petroleum based product ... IMHO.Quote:
