I'm looking for a good paddle tail for casting, I got some Mr Crappie Slabalicious black tuxedo to try, and also was looking at the Charlie Brewer double action minnow. Which paddle tail do you fellas prefer?
Edit: Also looking at the Panfish Assassin Crappie Dapper. Also the Keitech Swing Impact 2" might be good
Charlie brewer 1.5" crappie slider for me.
I mostly use Slabanator's Booty Thumper (2" long) and Charlie Brewer's Crappie Slider (1.5" long). I've used the Booty Thumper most successfully when Pushing, and the Crappie Slider moreso when casting a single jig (& in double jig rigs for Livescope Flippin').
Slabanator Booty Thumpers : 2'"' BOOTY THUMPERS
I really like the crappie swimbait from scheels. When crappies are up shallow they absolutely smash it. They are only $2 a pack too
Just looked at those, they look good, and only $2, thats cheap. I see they have glow, has anyone used the glow baits in the evening/dark?Quote:

Wow, that's awesome man, I'd love to catch a crappie like that. Still figuring these fish out, I know theyfe simple fish, but not always simple to catch. Maybe Ive been using too big of baits, Im going to get some of those CB 1.5". I see they also have 1", have you tried those? Also, whats your preferred jig head size? I like 1/32 with a #6 hook if I can get away with it
1” is good but I always got 1.5” and trim down when the damage one or when I needed, same thing. Jig head to me any weight plain no collar ( bait keeper) #6 or #8
I have used that exact one at night, once. Caught a few fish if i remember right, was casting to docks that had lights on themQuote:

The Kietec is probably the best, but they are fragile and expensive so I use them when it is difficult to get a bite, but use the slabalishous in salt and pepper/ chartreuse when they want to eat. A regular stinger is used more than the paddle tail for the reason that the fish are not looking for a lot of action from baitfish for most of the year.

I've seen a lot of people say the Kietechs are fragile, but also probably why theyre good. People be complaining about baits not lasting long, how much are live minnows or worms, and you have to go get them. I need to try the stinger tails more
Biggest reason I use Slabanator jig bodies ... not that expensive, & just as much action as name brands, but tougher. And they have many different body styles. My current favorite Slabanator body is the Devil Minner 2.5" ($1.99/10pk) with the Hot Rod "Mini Rods" 1.75" ($1.99/15pk) coming in a close 2nd.Quote:
