Fish - especially gills - SLAMMED it like it was their last meal! I've made more, some with slightly different cone shapes but I'm sure all with work to the tune of 81 fish. Note: other lure shapes also caught fish that day.

I got tired pushing soft plastics up on the jig hook after fish bit so I came up with a surefire solution: grub grip wire.

Plus 1. Those jugs look like the Crappie Magnets you can buy at Academy. I use them often with good results.

Magnets are different: double tails that quiver. [i]Carrot sticks /i] have a solid tapered tail that quivers slightly but the whole lure darts back & forth and glides depending on rod tip motion and reel handle turns.

These fish were caught on the carrot:

Of the 115 fish caught in two consecutive days, over 1/3 were caught on the carrot.
