I fished with my usual Umbrellas and Spanky today. I also tried the pro tubes by Southern Pro with a 1/4 oz leadhead inside it. The Crappie ate it , just inhaled that big bait. Not hard to figure out when they are eating big bait like this Crappie with another one (Crappie) in it's belly that big.:yikes The one I took it out of was 14'' and the one it ate was atleast 4''.

Caught one on a 4" goldfish on a trotline
a few years ago. It was right at 2 lbs.
Cool, nice fish
wow crazy what they can choke down. Nice.
They were on the bite @ Nimrod the last few days. Started catching shallower today than earlier in the week. "Nimrod" always is the crappie master on his lake.
That's pretty wild.
Same thing on Conway today. Couldnt hardly buy a bite with the usual 1/16 and 1/8 oz jigs. The few that did bite were lip hooked and ended up pulling off at the boat. I tried downsizing without much luck, so I tied on a 1/4 oz pink Arky head with a pink/chart Joker and tipped it with a gold nibble and BAM, game on!! Never lost another fish.
Chris try the Pro Tubes by Southern Pro in solid Chartruse with an unpainted 1/4 oz leadhead inside. Never felt the need for added nibbles , fish today inhaled this big bait.
Jack I think that 1/4 oz has about a #1 hook.
I caught some on Beaver over the last few days with some large Arkie tubes. White with Chartreuse skirts.
Nimrod are you using the long skinny heads that are made to go inside the tube jigs.
awsome
No sir those large pro tubes will allow a round head jig inside with no problem. I smooth off the rough spots on lead , spit or apply some type of oil (fish attractant) for lube on it and insert. Pop the eye through and your ready to tie on your line. Since I seldom use fish attractant , the spit might be working .:Rofl Always heard as a kid spit on your bait.Quote:

You are correct Sir. I don't catch near as many fish as I did before I quit dipping. don't spit any Skoal or other candied snuff. DPQuote:

I went back out for a few hours yesterday. I started at daylight with an 1/8 oz and they were killing it. That bite quit at about 8:30, so I switched to your Pro tube with a weight shoved up his butt....narry a bite. Went back to the 1/4 oz Arky with a Purple/chart Joker and I was back in the game. Not sure why, but that setup just dont work too well on Conway. How'd it work for you in The Pool this past winter? :RoflQuote:
