No you don't see anything on a graft as the grass shrimp goes but you will see a concentration of fish holding more on certain humps and these fish are feeding on them. A lot of finding their location is from years of seeing this happen at this time of the year. You can take the information in this thread and try to locate fish at these kind of areas of the lakes. You will find that in different parts of the lakes you will see more grass shrimp in the stomach of fish. I first tried a imitation of a grass shrimp years ago after being asked to tie a jig for this use. I had to research grass shrimp to see the colors needed for this jig. After hearing that crappie were feeding on them I started adding areas to remember for the next year after fishing the lakes and trying areas that fisherman would give me to try. (this doesn't mean they would tell where to fish but from looking for areas close to what waters they described in the reports) This is one of those jigs that will work, just have to use these jigs and learn where to use them. I would suggest for fisherman to do some research about the fresh water grass shrimp in our waters and add this knowledge you learn to your quest of catching fish this time of the year feeding on the shrimp. Fisherman from years past didn't have any electronics but they became excellent fisherman from the years they spent on the water, some of use older guys spent years fishing this same way but have become spoiled from all the new gadgets on the market today but, there is no way to replace knowledge and none of these gadgets come with that knowledge.
