Cow Tongue

Has anybody out there tried running one of those 6″-8″ Cow Tongue Reapers behind thier Swim Jig?

Ooops, I thought this was going be a recipe.

Sorry. I’ll go back to General Discussion now.

Hate to admit stupidity, but what’s a cow tongue reaper?

I’ve not tried a Reaper. I have tried a multitude of plastics looking for a different perspective. Some of the more successful ones have been larger paddletail shad baits, paddletail worms, and the hardnose worms by Manns. The Manns worms have a larger tail and work well.

To get the paddletail worm to work best cut a slot in the tail. This really gets the tail thumping.

The Hardnose that look like a Gator Tail? Did you find them anywhere local, or order them?

You can find a pile of them in my house too…

OK, leave the front door open. And put the Junebug ones in an easy to find location.

Moss. Daniel’s Ace Hardware in Winona has them.

Nice, I’ll be up in that area this weekend chasing turkeys, I’ll have to stop in if Blue Fleck locks his house.

I can’t speak to putting one on a swimming jig, but the 5″
versions, rigged on a Pro Spider Slider jig, and fished
like a slow swimming jig, works well on inland lakes,
off deep weed lines. If I fish stained water, like the
river, I would probably opt for a Sweet Beaver, with the
tail split, on a swimming jig, before I would rig a
big reaper. I hand pour some white pearl Beaver clones,
for the express purpose of swimming on jigs, in dirty
water.
