2.5" Small Fry Performance
« on: 08/22/11 18:38 UTC »
Poured up a few dozen 2.5" small fry crappie baits in my favorite colors and headed out.  The first time with this bait and I was extremely impressed.  Caught several nice crappie by pitching, casting and vertical jigging.  This is a long crappie bait but has a small profile.  If you're a crappie fisherman but hesitant about a 2.5" bait this one is for you, it doesn't fish like a bigger bait. 

The mold shoots 12 great baits every time.  Shooting laminates is a breeze and it makes a professional looking bait.  I've fished several shad body baits over the years and their performance cannot match this one!

Hook this thing on a 1/16th oz jig head with a #2 hook and hold on!

And just what are your favorite colors ?   ;D  Just Kidding.
Thats one thing about crappie fishing; there are so many colors that produce well today, and not tomorrow, and vice versa.
 
I will second that the Small Fry shoots extremely well.  I am early in my learning curve, particularly on laminates.  If I can shoot great baits with it, it has to be a eazy mold to shoot.  The tail action is exceptional if you like an active tail.  The triangle tail presents a good sized profile from the side as well as bottom / top.  Have yet to lake test, but tank testing looks great.  I will be shocked if this bait does not  produce well.
Still way too hot here for me to Crappie fish. 
Just glad I'm not in Texas.   ( Weather wise that is )
