Here are a few more colors. If you like any of these one of us can tell you the name so you can order them?

Great baits. The short profile of the 1000 series is very appealing to crappie. And the baits are tough. I once caught 34 on one bait before it tore off.

I fished the same sour grape bait for over 3 months 2 summers ago. I fish 3 to 4 days a week.I finally got it hung and had to break it off. A dab of gel super glue between the bait and the jighead can add a lot of use to plastic baits.

I like the 1&3/4" size as well.
If you have trouble with the super glue gel holding, scrape the lead on the jig with a pocket knife until it is shiny. The glue does best if the surface is clean.
I used one jig for 4 hours today, probably caught 40 crappie before it disintegrated.
If some of the bodies are bent in the package you can fix that as well. Heat some water to a boil, remove from heat and add the soft plastics for 60 seconds. Place them on a metal pan straight and put them in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Doesn't damage the plastic and they are still very tough.

Thx for the tips Spiderman. I saw somebody griping about the tails being bent so that's good to know. These must have good action!
