When I wanted a deep blood or crimson look, I just used MF regular red..........and a TON of it!! Oh and welcome to TU!!
-
Oh wow those are wicked looking!
-
So THAT'S what those holes are for!! LOL I have noticed a few in different craws that I throw. Can't really tell if they make a difference.

I'm 55 and had a pretty intense back surgery in 2019. There are not many things I can do now, but I'm happy to say float tubing is no problem and is actually therapeutic on my back. Not a bad little leg workout either!
-
Luckily, we don't have them here, but you can bet your behind I wouldn't be IN water if we did!! Earlier this year, I had what looked to be a 60 to 70 pound carp come up right by my tube. That was more than enough for me!!

Brother there's nothing wrong with 11 and 14 inch crappie. We just go lucky with ours! LOL I had to go back and look at my phone to see when I caught that big crappie. It was the middle of April and STILL my biggest strike this year.......and on a swimbait no less! Once I had him hooked, though, he pretty much gave up. So yeah now I tell my son while fishing for bass, "I'm still lookin' for that crappie doink!"

Float tubes is how we are currently fishing. We have a 10 foot Pelican Bass Raider that's perfect for our river, but my son broke his hand a few weeks ago and can't help with it until it heals. I'm completely cool with float tubes, though. We can get to places that many can't and the wind is not a factor.

Here's a few pics of crappie I caught this year. The solo pic weighed 1 pound 3 ounces and the large one I'm holding weighed 1 pound, 14 ounces. My son caught one that was 2.2. Funny thing is I caught all mine on a Spark Shad swimbait, while my son gets 'em on a small Googan Banger crankbait. We don't try to catch crappie, but we're sure not pissed when we do! LOL

As long as it's not listed as a sauce, you can add Pro Cure scents to your mixture. I quit doing that several years ago and now just add it to each bait. Preference thing.

Very good point. I have fished our local river for over 40 years strictly for bass, but this year my son and I have caught a bunch of crappie and bluegill while fishing for bass. I've caught several bluegill through the years, but this is our first time ever catching crappie. I would say we've caught about 8 of 'em all ranging from 6 ounces to 2 pounds. Now if the bass bite is tough, we find ourselves downsizing for crappie. LOL. The point is any species at any size as well as a consistent bite is always a good thing. I'll take anything that swims!!
-
I use the Pro Cure anise/crawfish and it's listed as a super gel. I have never had a problem with it drying out. I don't treat the bags, but rather each individual bait. Maybe that's where the problem is??
-
I have only fished for White Bass a couple times because we just don't have many here in California, but man what a blast catching them! We have a ton of Spotted Bass and they FIGHT, but whites just might beat 'em!
-
Interesting, but I'm too lazy and will never do it.
-
Saw this heading and just HAD to comment. I'm wondering the same thing. Do they make all their soft plastics with Elaztech? It has its advantages, but I use a bunch of screw lock weighted hooks. Forget screwing those things into Elaztech!!
-
Welcome, Arne. Enjoy your stay!
-
I found a guy at one of our local tackle shops that is going to be putting some on the wall this week. He said he's making a small run and setting a couple aside for me. We'll see how it goes!
-
Thanks, fellas. Lots of dynamite looking stuff!
-
Those are STUNNING! Can this be done in a square bill?
-
Hey guys I'm venturing over to the hard bait side with a really stupid question....... Do any of you make or know of a place where I can get a Morning Dawn color (or something similar) in a square bill? Seems to be exclusively a soft plastic color. We are currently fishing very clear and fairly shallow water. Morning Dawn and Sexy Shad have been deadly. Thanks in advance!
-
Looks good on paper, doesn't it??
-
Very nice!!
-
The Ika has been mentioned a few times now and I've never used it. That will have to change!
-
Wouldn't that solve all our problems??
-
Right there with ya, brother. I like to think I know what I'm doing........until I try to do it. LOL Personally, I've always wondered why bass think a jig is a crawdad, but I'm no bass!
-
Well hopefully I'll have some decent news to report back on. Gonna hit the water next weekend.
