WOO HOO ! Best Crappie tubes on the market as far as I'm concerned ! Purple / Chartruse Southern Pro Umbrella Tubes . Ready to be rigged up Nimrod style on a 1/8 oz unpainted jig head . Thanks guys for making such a hot bait . Man the fish were killing it last week too . :biggrin But not just for Nimrod but has worked on all the lakes in this area I normally fish too . Can't wait to hit lakes XYZ this fall . :biggrin

They have made a believer out of me for sure
Pretty fish for sure! You need to get Andrews to carry those for you so you don't have to wait on the mail. He probably could use the extra business too.:biggrin

NIMROD, when you're using those 1/8 oz heads is that just when tightlining or have you had success casting to them with that big a head?

Very nice!! Would these all come out of your pallet/stake beds???
Just when the crappie were starting to relax thinking Nimrod was running out of Southern Pro Purple and Chartreuse jigs, another shipment arrives. This is bad news for the crappie.
No , some days it's brush , pallets , stumps or just suspended schools of Shad . Never depend on what has worked but be ready to let the fish show ya by trying different approaches till you start catching .Quote:

But these were caught without a spider rig or minnows but jig poles and a jigs. Hollar and we can fish another lake a little closer to ya soon .Heavy fishing pressure is beginning to impact Nimrod but I been getting some good reports this week from other lakes !:fishQuote:

Whats a nimrod rig? Dang i want to catch some nimrod feesh!
A Southern Pro Umbrella tube in Purple/Chartruse rigged with a 1/8 oz jig head (unpainted) inside with eye poked through .About 18'' above I tied on a small barrel swivel that can fit through rod eyes to stop twist and still allow me to poke hung jigs loose . Most folks that are regulars on here started calling them ''Nimrod Specials '' :biggrinQuote:
