All the colors stated above are my favorite colors as well and Thermocline are the first baits to get tied on my rods. Get you a few in each color you think will work and get them wet and you won't be disappointed. Nice people to do business with as well. Shoot, I placed an order on Saturday and Todd brought them out to the lake for me. Talk about Customer Service!!!! Placed another order yesterday because they wore out the Lil Fry in Black Emerald Shiner on Sunday. Had many more throwbacks.

The construction of these lures is AMAZING. They are super tough. I just got a couple packs the other day and they just won't quit. Most of my other jigs will last a few fish. I have already caught over 20 crappie on my emerald shiners and they are still on my line still look brand new. I feel like the only way I will need to buy more is when I get hung up and have to break my lines through a whole pack. The crappie love them too. I mean LOVE THEM. I haven't had one not slam it with a passion caught a 13 incher I thought was gonna rip my pole out of my hand. So far I am impressed with them. One more thing the tails on this things are absolutely ridiculous. You can't hold them still enough to stop that tail from moving.

Does anyone have experience with the "Fort Knox" slab bug? The color caught my eye so I ordered a pack among some others but have not seen any reports on them. I was thinking it might be good under the green LED lights at night?

I caught fish on Lake Cypress Springs the 1st time I fished that color, but have only used it a couple of times since on cloudy days and it caught fish then. It's being phased out as it isn't selling as well as others. The Silver Flash has been good under green led lights. Please let me know how the Fort Knox works for you.

These baits are awesome. I have been fishing these baits for about the past 6 months, and have not picked up another brand since. Not to mention the customer service is 2nd to none, went by there on Sunday and re stocked. Todd was very helpful, not only on colors that have been producing fish, but just crappie fishing in general. Thanks again Todd.

I will post a report on the fort Knox after giving them a go. Hopefully it will be productive! Also ordered some of those black emerald shiners to use as a back up:)

When y'all are using the 1/16th or 1/32nd oz. jig head for the slow fall, are you using a single jig or are y'all using a double jig set up? Just since this late fall, I started using a double jig most of the time and have had good success even through the summer. But I've been using an 1/8th on the top jig and a 1/4th oz. head on the bottom jig. I see a lot of people on TFF prefer the lighter jig heads. Do most use the lighter jig heads year round or mostly when the bite is not as aggressive and they want a slower fall of the jig?

I prefer tandem jigs of different colors till I find what they want, then I'll switch to the color they are biting.
I like using 1/16 heads to get the bait down, but sometimes the fall is what triggers the bite.
In the winter in deep water, I'll use 1/4 heads.

I use the light jig head when the fish get finicky and bite slow; usually late July thru Aug. Otherwise, it's 1/8 oz. Rarely use tandem rig, but if I do it's 1/8 and 1/16 or two 1/16ths. I'll use 1/4 if fishing 30+ ft.
