What do you guys think about me making single basic color tubes & using spike it dip & glo to color tails or whatever color i want a different color? Also would you get the unscented version or just use the garlic scented chartreuse that i already have for bass fishing? How do crappie like garlic? Thanks
How do they like garlic?

I say they like it pretty good….lol. I’d use what you have and test it out.
:ThumbsUp
I have been using the Spike-it markers to color all white or monkey milk baits. Seems to work well. I'm not sold on garlic, maybe because I associate it with catfish and bullhead fishing?
I've saw an article berkley done a study & said crappie did not like garlic & actually would leave the location of baits that had it on them. I've also saw articles that say crappie like garlic. Who knows what to believe? :donoQuote:

And garlic is good.
I've used pens and the dip for decades. The dip is good for the base color; the pens for stripes or belly colors. The Sassy shad below was chartreuse. The pen applied the back black stripe and the orange belly color.

This Sassy Shad had the belly and tail cut off. The charteuse color was intensified by the dip and the black and orange added with Spike-It pens.

The white grub body was dipped in chart. after the curl tail was removed and the rest applied using pens.

One more - promise:

I wouldn't say the color combos added to the great number of fish caught last year on the above, but at least it didn't hurt.:highfive
BTW(No-action tale grubs RULE!)
All I have ever used is the dip and it's garlic scented. The crappie will eat it.;):)
Good to know. Thanks :ThumbsUpQuote:

Gotta keep looking for them hungry fish

Third option: they bite specific size, shape, action and presention combinations and most others they ignore a majority of the time.Quote:

Crappie love, garlic we mixed it right into our plastic on some of our baits.
You are correct. Sounds like a Bill Dance quote.Quote:

Ive never had an issue using the garlic scented one, other than bluegills will hold on longer which can be annoying. The gamefish scented one is what you want if you are going to purchase new, if they still make it.Quote:
