I use alot---mostly "Opening Night" with the tail just barely dipped in chartreuse dye. Beautiful.

I've used them before but really didn't like um. I prefer a regular crappie jig.

I use these A LOT. They are the perfect dock shooting jig, and all around bait. I use a lot of the Tiny Shad.

opening night is a fairly new color and the assassins are the only bait I've seen in this color---it is kind of clear with a violet-purple tint and is full of small "confetti strip" silver flake. I'm stocking Rocky Top jigs and I had them make the Rocky Top Super Slabs, Super Tubes and Stingers in opening night. I don't have a photo of this color on my website, but send me a pm if you want to see it and I'll email you a photo.

"Color doesn't matter - presentation is everything" (as he continually makes pin-point laser precision shots with a Limetreause assasin up under the docks)  I love these baits and have every color they make in them. My favorites - not necessarily in order are: Limetreause, Black Shad, Arkansas Shiner, Elctric Chicken, and Chartreuse Woodpecker. I believe with just these 5 colors I could do quite well if I fished with nothing else. If I could only pick one it would be Limetreause. If could only have 2 I'd add Black Shad. Once in a blue moon you will find them on sale somewhere. I cleaned up when the original Fishermans Supply closed down and have enough to last for many years. If you use a plain round head jig (no collar) and super glue them on they last a really long time before they tear up. Cabella's over on 35W north of Ft.Worth has a good stock and Barlows on 75 @ Arapaho in Richardson keeps a good selection Academy usually has some, but not always all the colors.

I never used them before but I see people catching fish with them all the time, and you see them floating in slips and barges on every lake.

If you can catch a calm day (or in your bathtub) rig one up and put it right under the water and try to hold it perfectly still. The little tail will quiver no matter what! Fantastic action, one of my favorite baits.

I like texas avacado. Have caught nice slabs on CC this winter on that color. Also try tomato seed and smoke shad. The can be hot colors as well.Bass Pro has a big selection of'em.

bobby garlands have opening night and a little bigger profile alsodont cause as much line twist cause the tails always stay strait.
