Crappie Magnet tails seem to do so much better when joined to thicker bodies
This one lake I fished yesterday has miles of pads with open water only 1/3 the surface. Many fishable pads are in 7-9' but most are difficult to fish. Fortunately I found fish in areas other anglers didn't fish or fish with the right lures and presentation because most fish were caught from 12:30 pm until 4 pm long after they left the lake. Good thing - I was getting ready to leave and then decided at the last minute to give one section a go.
As usual, when I find fish, I must work different soft plastic designs after catching a half dozen on one. Having proven that Crappie Magnet single and double tails catch fish, I wanted to confirm which bodies they were melted on to caught fish. Not one failed!
This one used a cut off worm body:

All size fish slammed it:

A French Fry stick segment used as the body also did well:

One Magnet tail did as well as a pair:

I hadn't cast the Claw in a while and decided why not given the multiple strikes in one area of the lake:

...in fact sunfish and crappie challenged it and lost:

It's such a pleasure catching different species on one lure except the pickerel that cut the line with it still hooked in its mouth.
42 fish in a short time - not bad for a sunny afternoon.
