    Had great luck with the clam fake minnow heads this weekend, I love being able to fish the same bait through multiple fish.

    What plastics do you guys like

    I picked up a weird trout jig at Walmart a month ago because it looked interesting. Was pink and had 2 little fingers for the tail. Tried it out that day and the crappies SLAMMED it! I used it a couple weeks later and had some decent success.

    I’ve used TriggerX, Clam, and Gulp, and I have the best luck with Clam Maki plastics. I’m not sure what it is but they seem to get bit and held on to more for me.

    My favorite has been and always will be the one that’s catching fish at the moment.

    the Trigger X wax tails (too bad you cant buy just the tails anymore), I like the Shrimpo/Ratso tails from Custom Jigs & Spins, and as of this season I started using the Clam Spiki tails with good success (they tear easier and you wont get as many fish per tail because they are softer.

    I’m a more live bait type of guy but when I do need to use plastics you cant beat B Y baits they seem more realistic and have alot of different options to pic from.

    I just got a bunch of wax tails (not pre rigged) from Karl’s Bait and tackle. http://www.shopkarls.com
    They are getting harder to find but with some internet searching I found a few out there.
