Finally got done editing this video. I tried out the SlabSauce from c.com. I caught a ton of crappie, however I fishing mid-day and during a cold front. The crappie I did catch were all around 7-8inches so no giants, but still fun. Hope you enjoy the video.

Flopping crappie, you did a good job producing this video, Vertical fishing on a Labor Day weekend using Crappie Sliders and Slab sauce is a formula for success. It is nice knowing you can solve electrical problems with trolling motors at a moment's interest. The slab sauce works and I like the way those seven inch crappie swallow the entire lure. They think they are big. Glad you had fun. Thanks for sharing your video.
Wow! Another great video. :HandsClapping
Thanks Shipahoy41! I do have a question about applying the slabsauce. Should I use marabou jigs since the scent will stick to better or does it matter?Quote:

Enjoy your video's! Great job!
Great video fc. What do you use to get such good audio?
Thanks for posting. Let me know if you need more slabsauce. With videos like this I'll certainly keep you stocked up with slabsauce. Love to see two real slabs caught at once.

You can spray it on any jig or even crankbait. It's oil based and leaves an oil residue. I've always been impressed on how long the residue remains on a crank bait even when trolling two miles an hour. Real it in after 15 minutes and you can still feel the oily film. Never woulda thought. And I'd suggest you press quicker and more firmly on the sprayer. It should come out in a mist which would give you better coverage especially in a large crankbait. But I suppose on a jig the stream would work just fine. Still I alway mist it just off the side of the boat. Hope that helps and best of luck.

I'm going to order some up and try it
Just so you know, I can't print labels till I get power back after Irma. Might be a couple days before I can ship. Sorry for the delay.Quote:

Now my go to in cold weather if jig fishing is hair jigs so that should do even better.Quote:

The sauce works good on soft plastics so I could only imagine how well it would work on hair jigs. Similar to using sponges soaked in anise for stealhead.
We need to get you some more "Charlie Brewer" Slider colors!!!
This was actually the first time I used these. I love the paddle tail design. Do you come in a slimmer/stream-lined body, more of a minnow imitation rather than the grub body?Quote:

Works really good on the PICO crank baits due to the golf ball like dimples in the body.
That was good!
They come in a ton of different designs and even more color combinations and sizes. They are a favorite with some of us for long lining and trolling.Quote:

I spray it on soft plastics. I have a small pail and I spray the lure in the bucket so I do not get it all over a boat. Sometimes I just take the lure and rub it in the bucket. There is enough residue for getting the scent on the lure. (Ed I add a little Anise and garlic salt to the slab sauce.) Works well just like that. I have had a bottle that lasts a long time.Quote:

Post some videos with your new Sliders and TTI Blakemore "Road Runners". I'm sure those companies would love to see their gear in action!
I know I've heard a lot about Anise and garlic working well, and in the future it'll certainly be an optional variety I can offer. But the current scent is all real bait scents, in the way of naturally occurring flavors so to speak. Not sure how much Garlic bread or licorice fish eat! lol, j/k cause like I said, many do great with those scents and in the future I'll include it too, likely in a separate offering. But for now it's all "real" fish foods and fish oils "based". Slabsauce actually has 6 different natural "flavors" with each press of the sprayer! lol It's the secret recipe I developed with the help of our members here back when we I was making Gubers, Liquid Minnow, Bait Batter. Remember those projects? I was always trying to thicken it so it would stick better, and now I went "thin", with an oil base that seems to stick (stays slimy on the bait) on it's own. I've gone full circle. lolQuote:

Thanks for everyone's support, and feedback. Once I get power back here in FL (Irma still has us down), I'll give away Slabsauce sample sized bottles with every order on Crappiewear.com (while they last). You're welcome to order now but just don't expect immediate delivery please. I need power to print labels and such. I only have the 5th wheel powered up right now (camping in my driveway)!
Slab, I am happy that you are safe. That storm was nasty. Thank our Lord in Heaven you are alive. Watching Maria now. I don't know what has caused 5 Hurricanes (CAT 4 and CAT 5) it's crazy! I hope you get your power back soon.
Irma and Harvey did some damage.
