Anyone have any luck on the plastic crickets for panfish?
Seen em on ebay for 14$ per 100 but wish I could find em elsewhere.

I have tried multople color combinations of the ones big bites makes. Nada.
There are so many good plastics with proven track records (trout magnets, sliders, etc), I don't see the need for plastic crickets.
^^^^^ this. Panfish magnets put a pile of fish in my boat last summer. Just got some Itty Bitty Slab Slayers snd theg lookngreat. Cant wait to get o some bream with em.
Small black jig and nibbles is the ticket for bream.
I've had good luck with the Gulp! Crickets.
what color nibbles ? Are the ones with glitter better ?Quote:

where else.must have matched something they were feeding on.can not remember what they were called.one of those truly magic local baits.
Huh?????
Yes they work very well,at least for myself.I would add them to the arsenal, I was pleasantly surprised while fishing the overflow of a large dam,the crappie were hammering the chartreuse crickets like they were candy,go for it.
Baker?? What brand and how did you rig your setup.????
Berkeley,some off brands,and I recently bought some micro plastics from a small pourer.I fish them much like you would fish a plastic tube,often weightless.Since I'm mostly a crappie and gill getter,I at times use my extention poles,and simply swing the lure past stumps,and let the lure sink and swing alongside the stump,crappie like to hang in or against debri,the sinking lure makes for an easy meal.
When fishing pools,I use a small sinker a few inches above the lure,cast and reel slowly,again much like fishing a plastic tube.Bouncing a weighted cricket in the shallows in gill waters,are hard to beat,hope some of this helps.
He's probably talking about a LAKER brand "Paddlebug".Quote:

The little crayfish work. Especially on the Ozark streams.
Jann's Netcraft has them.
