Great lure and one I typically start a day on a river float with. When the chips are down, a bass will hit a plastic worm like a Senko or a lizard, or maybe a fluke, when they won't touch a hard bait. Problem with plastics is they are slower to fish and you can't cover water as fast, if you're bumping bottom. Not as much so with a fluke.

I got a couple left but i never use them because they remind me of my father in law. Rebel Wee Craw works great for bass and bluegill. Blakemohr roadrunner red with white curly tail or better yet turbo tail works wonders. Round blade for crappie and walleye, willow leaf for white bass.

Now I have to go look up Devils toothpick... Never heard of that one. I haven't used Panther Martins either... Rooster tails are what I've been using. Spot shooter www.prairiefireprecision.com

I have a 6' super light rod with a small Pfluger Arbor reel and 6 lb fireline that minimizes the fatigue. http://www.rapala.com/rapala/lures/x-rap-series/x-rapandreg/X+Rap.html Last edited by Azshooter; 03/15/16.

It can be fished shallow or deep,so is not restricted as to depth and is deadly in both places;can be fished fast (to cover water) or slow. It imitates everything from tiny crustaceons to full sized baitfish; the style can be tailored to the species. They are THE universal fish catching bait. The only thing that comes close is some type of spinnerbait of various styles.The right jig will catch fish world wide. Turn me loose on ANY bass lake in the country with the right jig,and I will get bit.....even if I have never seen the place before. The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Mr Twister sassy shad has landed me many a trout. My old boss was a hardcore fly fisherman until he saw how effective jigs were, now he owns an impressive collection.

My "one size fits all" for trout fishing is a 5 to 5-1/2 foot spin rod, open faced reel loaded with 4 pound maxima, and a handful of 1/16th oz "classic gold" panther martins. If I can't catch trout on that, they can't be caught. Tom Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip. Here be dragons ...

Florida a long time ago and caught Spanish Mackerel and Sailers Choice on them. "...the left considers you vermin, and they'll kill you given the chance..." Bristoe
