Works Better Than it ShouldI say it works better than it should because I mostly troll and do little casting the plug. Whether it looks like a craw fish or what ever it catches fish. I guess itws kind of like night crawlers any environment used, which work about a I have even been catching as many as my wife and daughter when I take them out (usually they bring home the fish, even when I use the same bait) . I have several for both my wife and I to use. The red colors seem to work the best. I troll them slow and on weed edges. Crappies seem to like them especially. I make my own steel leaders and use a short one on them as Northern pike would cut them off if not use, especially on the light tackle they are designed for. Been very productive lures.

Crappie Love TheseI used these for the first time on my favorite Crappie lake last weekend. I was amazed, I could not keep the Crappie off the line. Literally every time I made a cast I had one on the line. I was a die-hard Crappie-Spin and Tube-Jig user until now. I bought several of every kind available. If you want to nail the Crappie, these are magic! The reason I did not give 5 stars is because although they are great fish catchers, the hooks are so close together that they constantly foul each other. I spent every other cast untangling the hooks, very frustrating. I am going to replace them with smaller hooks, they don't need to be this big anyway.

Great lure for the price.This lure has great action in rocky structure. It does not hang up easily in the rocks. It is a very productive smallmouth lure. The one problem it does have is that the hooks sometimes get entangled in each-other causing the lure to be ineffective on those casts. Bending a couple hook points inward a bit eliminates this problem.

Best Crankbait EverRecently purchased two Mini Dad crankbaits, one the Dirty Brown and the other Louisiana Red. Fished these baits from my kayak in the Neches River in East Texas where I caught 11 different species of fish; largemouth and spotted bass, white bass, hybrid striped bass, crappie, channel catfish, warmouth bass, and 4 species of bream. Three days of fishing on the river with over 150 fish caught on these two baits. I am amazed at how savagely and frequently the catfish attack this bait; you don't have to set the hook they hit it so hard. Recently purchased 2 of each color. If you do not own several of these jewels, get them and quit fishing and start catching!

good for the pricei was not expecting this crawdad to match other crawdads but the mini dad did way better than them on a small creek i fish. Most of the fish caught were smallmouth and the bait held up good against there strong aggressiveness.

best color for bass and trout??
I wanna use something different from a natural craw. Any ideas?
Asked by: youngmagnificent13
Don't know about your area, but in California on every lake and most streams, use the D7675. Don't remember the size, but it is the second largest. You can't go wrong!!

Best color ever? Are size 8 red treble hooks a good idea?
Asked by: Gagehalle
No, they constantly catch other because they are so close together. I replaced them with size 12 and have had no further problems.

What color for lakes in NY? Just match the lakes crayfish colors?
Asked by: Gagehalle
There isn’t really a “Best” color to use when fishing. One color may work better one time but not as well the next time you fish. So, when selecting a lure color take a look at your surrounds (landscape and wildlife) to determine the color of lure to use. If the water is dark and murky (or stained) use bright and/or fluorescent colors that can draw the fish’s attention to the lure. If the water is clear, look around if the area and use colors which blend with the surrounds. If the area is rocky use a brown, tan, or a similar color. If there is grass and weeds then use more of the green colors. Each location will be different so try a good range of colors. Thank you for your question.
