I use crappie nibbled but it appears the slab sauce comes highly recommended.
Either, slab sauce or crappie nibbles- I use both.
How do you use the nibbles?
They seem a bit of a pain to me ( dont stay on well. Ive heard people lay them out to dry on jigs?) . I grabbed a tube of the shad scales, which seems a little more useable, but messy. I just smear it on plastics with my fingers.
You don’t need to put them on jigs before you let them dry out. Try setting some out to dry before using them. It toughens them up a little, but they eventually will soften up when in the water

One thing I would do...
Do a search on the main page for "Slab Sauce". At first glance it would SEEM that everyone is trying to push you towards a product that is offered and sold by this web site. After reading all of the many reviews of this product by tons of different people (including videos) you will quickly learn that it is NOT a gimick. Many people will post a review and, because of that, others will purchase it. Then you will see the comments they make about the product. Everyone has been very happy with it. One of the only ones that are really out on the market today that has quality results. It does sound too good to be true but.. it does work!!!!

My package came in the mail yesterday just as I was told. Fishing was tough Wednesday with that cold front moving in. I really like how the product came packaged and the smell wasn't bad. It's a very clean product and the bottles are pefect.
I can't wait to get on the water with my slab sauce. I had to attend my Aunt's funeral this weekend so I'll be back on the water this week. I was surprised how panfish assassin work and Slab Sauce is going to make them deadly.
CK ... I've been using Panfish Assassins for nigh on to 20yrs & they've been killer from the getgo !! Made the switch from always using tubes, to using the Assassins when I first got into shooting docks down at Watts Bar Lake in East Tenn. They've been a large part of my jig casting arsenal since then, and I still use them often ... especially when using a small profile bait is warranted.Quote:

I'm glad to hear that. I was wondering how do you keep your Assassins from coming apart. The crappie are hitting it really hard that it tears them off the 1/32 jig. I was thinking about tapping a dot of crazy glue to the jig. What do you do to maximize life out of it?Quote:

I haven't had that much of a problem with PA's tearing up from Crappie, but Bluegills have been known to bite the tail off (esp. chartreuse tails).Quote:

Reason being, once that bait is ready to be replaced, you have to scrape the glue/plastic remnants off the jighead in order to get the next plastics to line up and fit against the head properly (sometimes). That takes about the same amount of time as cutting the jig off & replacing the whole thing. But, putting a new plastic bait on & gluing the broken bodies back together at a more convenient time means you're not stopping your fishing for as long a period of time. And the glued back together bodies have time to dry & seal more properly.
I used Loctite Super Glue Gel Control because the squeeze tubes of Super Glue would get hard & have to be thrown away so fast that they were not worth the cost & effort. The Gel Control bottles have "wings" on the side that you push in to make the gel come out, and it has a nozzle tip for better control of placement of the glue.
This is what I used :

You can get it at many stores (like Walmart) for about $2.50
When I "was" using it .... I let it dry for no more than 2mins & it seemed to bond good enough to hold ... even in that short a time. Like I said ... soon as I glued them & started fishing with them, the Bluegills were yanking on the skirt tails of my tubes, but they never pulled the skirt down ... just yanked the tails off. Now, I'm sure that they weren't actually "biting" the skirt tails off of my tubes, but holding onto them when I set the hook, and that's when they were ripped off. Point of that is ... the glue held the body on the jig, even with that much force applied against it (even after only a couple of minutes of drying time).
I will be picking some if that up and I wasn't the only person having problems with the Assassin coming apart after a few hits.
I enjoy watching his YouTube videos.Quote:
