I’ve caught a LOT of crappie using the baby shad plastics vertical jigging.
I know a lot of people use them for shooting docks too, but you need a good jig head to hold them tight when using them that way.
The baby shad may look more natural. Maybe. It works better fer me.
Screw loc heads hold them good

How much action does a minnow have while he’s swimming along? Not saying others don’t work but action isn’t always need. In fact I’ve seen times I wouldn’t get bit unless my bait set still for a while under a bobber. Trust me, I’m no expert but I have a wife and two daughters, I know how finicky creatures can be sometimes!!
If anyone needs any, let me knowQuote:

But, I'm not the expert than some of these guys are.
They are the best soft plastic in my opinion and make up for 1/2 my fish every year. The other 1/2 fall to marabu jigs.

I think the swim R gives more action in current or when trolled vs the straight baby shad. I like to use them on the river and the shad on the lake.
I use Swimmers when trolling. Baby Shad when jigging. The real question is colors. Now the hair jigs, I don't ever do well. Weird.

BG when the wind is up, shooting docks. If no wind, hand ties for me. Trolling half BG other curly tail.
