I used this last two times trolling and I am impressed. I was surprised how this out fish other baits and color on a cloudy day and stained water. I would have thought this was a more clear water color. I am getting hooked on this bait and color.

I'll stick with the two inch grubs.;)

CKs always bragging about his 3in grub, [emoji15]

In the olden days we fished for Crappie with what they call bass minnows and #1 hooks 2" floats. The Crappie would pull the float under once then it'd pop up you'd set the hook on the second run. No small fish they were all 10-16" fish. Oh and they were 3 doz for a dollar or .33/doz my how times and prices have changed.
As a 13 oy kid I questioned the price the guy said you get more when you by 3 doz/for a dollar I said you better get at least 3 doz
This was in Woods Reservoir near Tullahoma TN at a cooling water outlet

Use em all the time over here where the big fish live:biggrin

A crappie can suck a big bait in,no problem.

He was using 1/16 and tipping these with minnows too, those baits are great over brush, no minnows needed

I used these jig bodies in Chart/Red Flake at hartwell yesterday. Had Chart/white curly tails on too. The bobby garland out peformed by a long shot.

While I like using larger profile baits at certain times...the advertising is misleading. I have caught some very large fish on 1/32 oz. hair jigs, and to be fair have caught some large fish on 3" plastics also. I think it depends on several factors, presentation for one...size of baitfish in the area could also be a factor. There is a place in my boat for the spectrum of colors/sizes/shapes of jigs. I've seen the times when each one was critical to success. Just my .02
