When we was down at Hugo I noticed Hatt55 using a Crappie Kickers or some sort like them. I have heard of them but never used them. Well, the other day I was killing time and came across a youtube video of Mark McGuire using them. My question is, What type of jig head do you use for them? If I remember right Mark said in the video but now I can't find it on youtube. Oh, and by the way if your looking for them Woody's Bait and tackle carries them all. Thanks in advance for the info.
BigFin... Bring some to Spring Camp in April. Do you need a tent site?
I think it was Timmy Tom Weedless jigs.Quote:

Who makes these kickers? GL? Aren't these wasshoppa 's?
Fle Fly makes the kickers FleFly Tackle FLE FLY. Wasshoppa molds were bought by Gene Larew Company that makes Bobby Garland baits.Quote:

QUESTION : What size hook is needed for 3" and 4" tubes ?
Do not know. The plant/office is in Tulsa on 11th. I guess you could call them.Quote:

This year I'm going back to mainly non weedless. DStreet turned me onto egg heads but I find the barb area is awfully fat. Been looking at the chub head which is a lot like the egg head but with less barb area. Thinking I can convert it to a wireguard which I'm also going to this year. Once a bait is on a wirekeeper it is staying. Also getting into underspins too.
Guys I along with Jeff Williams have been working hand in hand with Pro Built Jig and have designed the New Pro Series Big Eye Jig by Fle Fly to match each size of the Crappie Kicker and Go Go Minnow. For instance the 2" we have a 1/16oz with a #2 hook. 21/2" a 1/8oz with a #1 hook. 3" the 1/8oz or the 3/16oz with a 1/0 hook works well. The 4" I use the 1/4oz with a 3/0 hook designed just for this bait. Several shops now have these baits on hand and more everyday. I will say they will be coming to Academy soon as well. You can also still find them online at FleFly Tackle FLE FLY. As far as the videos you were referring too they can be found on flefly channel on YouTube and also on flefly's website........Ranger
Have used the kickers for a while now. (3" only. Didn't have the 4" yet). Haven't noticed much difference in jig head. Just match the weight to what's needed for the day. 3/16 or 1/4 is my favorite.
