Love this video. Would like to see more sacalait baits! Definitely a tube jig I’d love to see what it looks like since I catch most of my sacalait on it!
Nice video! Sometimes crappie anglers think about profile more than action. Baby shad definitely fits the profile idea, looking just like a baby minnow. Many crappie like to tightline a jig under a long pole, rather than bouncing off the bottom. Not sure if it would make a difference in action, but you can’t keep the skinny tail of that baby shad from moving even if you try. Every little wave, move of the boat, or rod results in tail movement. That is one reason it can be so effective, imo. And sometimes less action can be more. Still like seeing them underwater. I’d like to see some crappie magnet jigs please
I appreciate you showing an underwater video of each one in action...the Slab Hunt'R Minnow seems to be best for me. Looks more like an actual minnow in the water.
You have the best lure underwater vids ever!👍 I used these small lures for salt water trout. The trout were good size but were straightening out the hooks! Can you recommend some strong hooks in this size? Perhaps a vid using different brand hooks to test strength and corrosion resistance? Thank you!👍
Did you just recently film this? What was the water temp of that pool? A lot of soft plastics on the market harden up and lose a lot of their action in very cold water. I’m curious to see a repeat test during the time of year when the Crappie bite starts heating up.
Lures w/ more action, swirl tails etc, for trolling and minnow profile jigs for vertical presentation seem to work best for me. Several years ago, a guy pulled up beside me and threw me a 'Shiney Hinee' -- a hair jig - I said to myself, "Nah, I don't think so", but I use it almost exclusively now for vert jigging. 1/16 oz sits perfectly horizontal and never wears out.
I know you do it for consistency in testing, but honestly, I've found a lot of these crappie lures to be best when fished without a jig and rather a small #4 or #6 hook. They can have a lot more erratic action that looks more natural to crappies. Sometimes that slow fall is an action a crappie can't say no to.
They have a min version of the slab huntr but its a bit too small. The regular size on is a bit too big for most crappies and gills. I wish they would have made the huntr smaller version slightly bigger.
I think you are applying to much action to the Baits. I believe that you need to slow down to achieve the action that those Baits are designed for. You are moving those Baits way to fast. Especially the Baby Shad. Easy Cowboy. Tight Lines 🎣 PS. The other thing is you are using a Swimming Pool. A Swimming Pool does not have the same Water Pressure that a Lake has or any other body of Water and that will effect the actions of the Bait you are Testing. It's about Water Dinsenity and Pressure. I could be wrong but that is my opinion of the matter.
Hello ! What are the name and size of that spinning rod and what are the name and size of that spinning reel and what the name and size and color of that fishing line you are using in this UA-cam video please. May the lord be in your heart today to answer my three questions that I’m asking you for please and May the Lord continue to bless you and your family and your UA-cam channel in 2024 please 🙏 ! Can you please do a little more casting for crappies UA-cam videos in 2024 please 🙏
The original baby shad is by far my best producing bait. I fish it year round in the creeks and bayous
What size jighead do you suggest for that?
I love these pool tests!
I love the pool reviews.
Thank you for sharing your videos. Lots of helpful stuff .

A loop knot will do wonders

Are you taking requests? I would like to see what zman lures look like underwater with their different jighead options.
This was awesome. Very informative. I think some of them are supposed to be used on a dropshot rig…
Great video, thank you!!!
Use a loop knot for more action.

What’s the water temp on the pool? That greatly affects the action of soft plastic lures, especially small ones.
Slab hunter minnow looks like a stout, durable bait that could hold up to a few fish.

11:37 this actually looks like it slays. Crappie are usually just huddled around and this seems like the perfect lazy bait for them to chomp on.
It really did 😅
I use these baits that don’t have big action on a small spinner set up. Usually pretty successfully.
Been chasing them in chackbay and St. Charles parish
No matrix mini?
have you tried a loop knot to allow the jig head to wobble
All baits were tied with a loop knot.
I love your pool reviews. But, some of the plastics are finesse baits that must be moved slowly on the vertical motion. You are moving way to fast.
Lunkers TV use to do pool reviews I don’t even know if he fish now

Interesting to see the swimming minnow do so poorly. It's one of my favorite baits, and it usually has a ton of action. Maybe you got a bad one.
How about next time using some local bait companies products. I mostly use the crappie psychic crappie weapon with his trailer’s.
its a janky setup!!!!! that is so funny 😅😅
