this is all i use. Little Atom "WEDGEES"
you can buy it a different way and just use the tails on the other types sold. like these Little Atom "SPIDGIES"
you should be able to buy them at several online sites, but i know about this one only. or just run it thru a search engine for more buying choices.

I really have had success with most of the TriggerX plastics.  However the only one I don't is the mustache worm which frustrates me to no end because the guys on In Depth Outdoors tv show get crappies chomping those things like fat kids on cake.  Chalk that up to the "magic" of television.  Anyone have success with the mustache worm?

Maki Plastics hands down. they are hand poured and have the most life like action to them of most plastics out there. can either get them right from the Maki website or Clam carries some of the better sellers for Maki. Maki's owner is a Clam Pro Staffer and they partner to try and bring at least two more of the Maki line up over to Clam each season. My favorite from Maki is the Jamei and the Maki. these are the two I use the most of.

J & S and Contraband plastics are also VERY good ones to try ;)

inch and a half Little Atom "WEDGEES"
after you get a few hook ups you can pinch a little off the front and reuse them only shorter.

Same here, these are the best I've found (and easiest to find). X2 on the mustache worm, haven't been able to buy a bite on it

I've used nothing but Impulse from Northland the past few years. They've caught tons of fish, have all the necessary colors, and have a broad assortment of styles. Also for me, being in Northern WI, they are also readily available everywhere and aren't expensive so that's a major bonus. If I run out, I can get them locally without waiting.

I was at Gander the other day and bought some of the new ones for this season. I'm really liking the new storage containers they came out with. I've ripped so many tails trying to pull them out of the tiny bags, especially when my hands are cold...

Look at the post elsewhere on this site about best new gear or sponsor above Pro Fishing supply, tungsten jigs 3 for a buck, and then cut up some cheap plastic worms or use real worms off the tungsten, you will rock them like a hurricane for under a few bucks. Panfish will hit on almost anything, although perch eyeballs are the best bait bar none.
