a different Tadpole

some ask me frequently about a bait I carry in my pocket and drop in the water often .
if you have not dropped one of them before you for sure need to .
So inquire with Bobs jigs about them as I got a few from him back when and if he doesn't carry them anymore
My friend at Thermocline lures does .
we call them Tadpoles here in Texas
and the 2 inch Tadpoles are my favorite in this bait
and the pearl ice coloration as shown can be quite deadly in multitudes of situations and presentations :ThumbsUp
disclaimer : this is an fyi for those that are asking about them not an advertisement and no I don't get them for free ......
hand poured and not the cheapest baits out there either ....:yikes
p.s. yes I am about to run out of them darnit ,thems my last 4 out of 3 bags I got in late November

Ordered me a batch. They look great!

I ordered mine from Thermocline lures. Some great colors, as well as the ones Ketchn likes.

I don’t know who all has that mold ,but Bob did give me 3 to test a while back ,but I don’t see them on his website .
Thermocline lures is where I get mine and if you google Thermocline lures it should pop up .
They are uv enhanced if I didn’t mention that before and best I can tell will hang with any crappie plastic made .
They are also presoaked in a juice that’s popular as well .
Like I said not the cheapest bait around but for sure have been very good to me

Haven’t tried these yet, but from why you say that should work. How do you fish these? I bought them to try out dock shooting.

I got some of those BG Crappie Shooters in the Live Minnow pattern (middle^ in above picture). I rigged mine dark side up/ light side down on a 1/16 Arkie jig head with a sickle hook and drifted with the breeze in early October with them suspended 10'-12' over a 20+ foot bottom under the kayak and did pretty well. The fish didn't seem to want any action imparted on the lure and wouldn't touch a curl tail, but they ate these up.

I could see these rigged flat for shooting docks, but the places where I fished had no docks and the fish were suspended off points in the channels. I'll definitely keep some handy when the regular tricks aren't working.

the difference in the plastics shown is the tail and the action in the water , I am pretty sure those tails will remain stationary at all times . to much plastic connecting them to the body for much action in my opinion , but they are likely much more durable than the tadpoles .

Boy you talk about service I ordered some Friday and they were in the Mali box today. Can't beat that with a stick.

How did you find them. I can't find on his website.

I am going to try mine tomorrow at lake wateree. I want to try the ones that ketchin was using going to be spider rigging and tipped with a minnow. I also got some of the monkey milk colors. Will post if I catch any.

I was fishing with Todd from Thermocline lures Sunday and this tadpole in the citric acid color

After around twenty fish I did have to change the bait, but I had used the original bait on a couple of other trips.

Sent the wrong picture on the other post. The top pic is from a different trip. I was trying to send a picture of the bait. The bottom pic is what we caught Sunday and this is the bait

Finally able to get on site and figured how to order them. Got me a bunch ordered.

I ordered some Crappie plastics from Thermocline Lures in Texas on Wednesday. The order was shipped out the same day and I received them on Saturday morning. Excellent and fast service for sure. The baits look and feel exceptional and I cannot wait to try them out on Tennessee specks. Thanks Ketchn for sharing pictures of your fish and the baits you catch them on.
