A local lake isn't known for its large crappie, but 10" is the expected size and the sunfish and perch are nothing to write home about but fun to catch. Water temperature is dropping and the bright green algae is starting to die, but lure color doesn't seem too important as long as the jighead used with the grubs is 1/24 and 1/16 oz. along with a grub length around 2".


Even the Beetle Spin did okay:


Even a small bass hit it:


....smaller yet!:


This a spin I made with wire and other parts and doesn't line-foul like the original.:


The lures shown are composite creations using the parts of Crappie Magnet grubs, a Slider Worm tail and a prong tail from another grub.

47 fish caught, about 15 fish missed. Not a bad day.

Love those eating size Bluegill and Crappie! Good job.

They actually look bigger than they are. No way as big as the panfish I caught in Texas when I was stationed near Wichita Falls back in the early 70's.

Great go to bait! Nice post and fish.

Yep grubs are a fun way to mix it up.

Love using grubs. Great bait.
