Does anybody in here use soft plastics under a float in here?
-
I do, a small jig with a plastic can be killer under a float
-
Great. I am gonna try the plastic under a float.
too cold to be dealing with live bait after every crappie!
-
Steelhead guys do this all the time.
I’m going to try this on snook down in Florida when I move there.
Killer presentation.
-
A small fly works well also, lots of fly fisherman in Montana are using it now, it's a great presentation.
-
Works well in light wind, down stream current, let current bring it under docks and overhanging trees. In all cases, give it a twitch every few seconds for good results.
I use small jigs, grubs, tubes and flies.

Gulp Minnows in the 1" size under a bobber is deadly for crappie. The fish don't steal your bait and you can catch several on one minnow. Much cheaper than buying live minnows.
-
That's my favorite panfish tactic. Light jig heads can make all the difference. I like the 1/80th or 1/100th oz heads and plastics from whack 'em stack 'em.

1/32 head plain and 1" red and white tube jig under a stick float with a drop of Mike's anis jell slowly walked back or I tie 1/64 plain head with Chanelle body and calf tail ,with jell ,all white my favorite color with them

My number 1 crappie rig.

I prefer to cast, but, sometimes the fish want a slow presentation, so that's when I pick a float rig. ;)
I have caught walleye, and, pike on the 3" Berkley gulp minnow / jig combo, under a slip float.
If I want a stationary float system I use Bobber with a Brain.
I would like to try those popping corks sometime.8)
I think the pike, and, possibly walleye, would respond to them just like the saltwater fish do.
They are not sold around here, so, I would have to probably look on line to find them.

I’ve used slip-floated for flats and perch with plastics
-
This is a deadly combo when it comes to just about every fish that swims. I fish a 1/32 hair jig or small plastic
under one of those cheap teardrop shaped casting bubbles. I use no sinker so the small jg can move freely with
the current. Some times I will at a crappie nibble as well. I've taken everything from panfish to mongo sized
channels on this rig.
fish on,

Babe Winkleman - or was it one of the Linders -- said jigs are the deadliest all around bait for all species of fish.

I believe Al linder.

Yes, they are, my preferred choice all of the time.

The lazy way for me to fish is with plastics under the float. Let the wind or currents do the work.
