Little Atom Tackle

Looks like the response has been pretty good. I went to pick up a few more of the Optic Stealth jigs and most appeared to be sold out.

These are really great little jigs. The perch were just hammering the school bus yellow/blood red #10 on Mille Lacs yesterday.

I fished a tuff bite for crappies yesterday and my go to lure was the # 10 stealth black back and red body with 2 spikes. Great fish getter jigs!!!!

I can`t believe that I have not mentioned yet that the nuggies are great walleye baits. I have had walleyes hit many times while pannie fishing. I even had a musky on for a couple of minutes last week useing the nuggies. It catches everything. One of my favorite plastics.

Borch-

Got a little secret for ya! Upper Red Crappies like the Nuggies as well.

I went up to URL last weekend with the understanding the crappies were very, very finicky and wouldn't touch a bait that was moving. Deadsticking a minnow on a plain hook was the only thing turning fish.

After augering a series of holes, I located a fish 1' off the bottom in one of my holes. I pulled out the plain hook and minnow and started feeding it down to the fish. To my surprise, the crappie rose 2' from its position and nailed the bait before I could get my bail closed. After catching 2 crappies in this manner, I decided to switch up to plastic putting a Little Atom Nuggie on a larger size Pink/White Lindy Fat Boy. I know, weird bait combination but it worked. I ran into aggressive crappies that would hit the bait on the drop and also ran into more neutral crappies that needed to stare at the bait for 15 seconds or so before I felt the tap.

Plastic was beneficial because I had schools of crappies cruising though. By the time I unhooked and rebaited, the fish would disappear off my flasher. With plastic, rebaiting wasn't required and that was about all I needed to pull one more from the school before they were gone.

This 14 1/2 incher definitely like the Nuggie.
