If you like the Garland shad, you'll love this small fry bait. The small fry's tail is triangular from the body to the tip and it reflects light like there's no tomorrow and the tip action is what fires fish up once they notice the flash. I fish crappies almost exclusively all year and in lots of different water types. The 1.75" small fry is in the top 3 of my pet baits and has been a very consistent producer even in cold water. Last fall a friend and I fished on the Mississippi River two days before ice shut off the landing. We got skunked on the walleyes we thought we catch but we caught crappies like crazy and the small fry and thumper shads were all we had in the boat that was crappie sized. I thought they'd be too large given the super cold water but they hammered the baits.
The small fry series of baits are all super easy to shoot and with a lamination plate or some free-hand pouring like I prefer you can cook up some very nice baits and in colors that Garland never even thought of. I recommend this bait to a lot of people as a first time mold simply because it has so much to offer.
