Deadly in the right situation......we called em an "Adios George"...hehehe

You have to refer to them in the plural ..... Little Georges

This post is ten years old .

And the little George is still a great bait for when they are schooling

Even though the OP is old the bait has lasted the test of time. Below is a link to the Mann's Bait Co. Catalog circa 1974.

Manns' Bait Co. '74

My cousin texted me out of nowhere today and offered to take me fishing at a popular lake here that I’d never been on much. I’m not a heavily pressured lake type is the only reason. This lake is right outside our doors. That Little George I grabbed from the local tackle shop had been hanging in that tackle shop since we were in highschool and we’re in our 40s. So there we were I was fishing with it on the day he took me fishing 100 years later. I caught a nice Speck with it. He swallowed it so much I didn’t think it’d come a lose safely but it did. We found the Specks grouped up in a deep spot but his anchor rope wasn’t long enough so we just fished around for fun. He caught a Speck and a Bass.

Sounds like a fun trip. Where is "here"?

You are wrong

Florida lol! I’m who bumped this up a couple of pages ago. I was stuck inside in the rain and found this when I Googled something about Little George. I actually have an idea for using it as soon as I get a chance to fish all day by myself that nobody to my knowledge has tried. It might sound wild but nobody had tried this lure at 1 time before it was invented for just 1 lake so we’ll see.

Little George: “Catches Everything That Swims”! Said so right on the package! The governor George Wallace story is actual fact. Can’t imagine why the packaging would be a problem today? 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️🙄

Tie a little George on. About 12 inches above that, tie a roadrunner on. Then about 12 inches above that, tie another roadrunner on. Then about 12 inches above that, tie a 3rd road runner on.

Cast into schooling anything and enjoy.

Somewhere we’ve got a pic of me and 2 buddies doing that at grapevine and we all have 4 sandies on one cast in the boat.

back in the mid 70's I learned to fish them when I was stationed in Georgia, great wintertime bait for fishing drop offs or over deep treetops but you better bring a handful with you because they will hang up.

I’ve thrown baits similar but not the original Little George. I use them to target suspended fish using Livescope. You can’t hardly beat it when there’s big schools chasing bait super fast because it’s easy to get it to them quickly. I usually yo-yo it and almost all of my bites come on the fall.

Back before the Lake Arlington power plant had cooling towers the bait and fish would pile up in the outlet and the adjacent cove before it went into the lake.

The Little George was a favorite bait for bass and sandies. On a good winters day with the power plant running you could catch 100 bass on one of the outside points. Most people fished inside the cove and you could catch fish there but the two best places we found were the far bank of the cove away from the discharge and the outside point.

I even won a club tournament fishing there using a Little George. My boat motor had gone out and I was awaiting a rebuild. I backed the boat off a dirt ramp on the far point and caught my 10 fish limit sitting in the back of the boat which sat in the water still attached to the trailer.
