I gave these a try a couple years ago looking for something a ShellCracker would hit. Found out Gills and Crappie love them too and they have become my go to bait when casting for panfish. I'm restocking for the year and thought I'd share! I'm usually fishing on 4 pound test and a 1/32oz jig head in depths up to 20 feet deep in summer.

Nice supply. I guess you ordered them direct from Slider. I know I have neve seen that many colors locally.
I feel sorry for those poor little fishies, DB done gone and got them outsmarted for sure! There's no escaping now.
If he could find a smaller white maribou its game on for sure. I used to think I was addicted to crappie till I fealt the pull of a shellie the size of a crappie. If stuck in a pinch you can pinch a couple of rings off and shorten the crappie ones.

I been looking for something like these. What size hook do you use with the 1/32 jigs.?
Charlie Brewer makes a 1/32 with a spinner like a road runner. I think it is called a bumble bee. It comes pre rigged with extra tails. I have used those and tipped the hook with crickets and caught a whole pile of fish. Crappie, bluegill, white bass, largemouth. Anything will hit it with the cricket on the hook. You will be surprised.
Those will work for sure.
I use them, they are great.
I use the crappie and crazy tail sliders all the time. Want to try the smaller ones for gill and crackers.

Where can you get the bumble bee? Looked on line at a number of places, but could not find them.Quote:

How do y’all fish them for gills and crackers?

I use them on a southern pro creekspin, the bream here love 'em. And you'll occasionally catch a crappie or a bass. The white bass love em too.

The little tail wiggling makes everything go crazy.
I went to the pond in the Huntsville Research Park last week by the Adtran Building for an hour. I caught several dozen gills and 6 Crappie. I didn't even know there were Crappie in that pond, LOL. I had several people fishing worms ask me what I was using.
I put these on beetle spins for my 6 year olds when I take them. By far my most consistent small plastic for catching various types of panfish.
