anybody use maki plastics

All the time, hardly use bait anymore. Microspoons and jigs domination frys are awesome as well.

I have quite a decent sized box full of Maki plastics. Use them on blue gills and crappie mostly, never had crazy success with perch. I like them as another option to live bait.

Caught my first jigging Eye bout 6 yrs ago on a Maki, picked them up at the ice show in Albany.

I use them when I'm fising for crappies but I'v never had any luck on perch

much prefer custom jigs n spins finesse plastics, but the maki/clam plastics work okay too.

thanks for info i have always used mamooska's with mousies and spikes wanted try something different i bought a bunch to try hope the ice comes soon

I want to throw it out there that it totally makes all the difference how you rig your plastic.... With the trigger X minnows I like to set them up so that when I drop my jig down the plastic sits horizontal... and level too. With just a light jig on the rod the tail of the plastic wiggles and makes it look like a small bait fish... try to make sure every time you drop it it looks the same as well.. Idk just some things that work well for me that I don't mind sharing

I had some great success with Lake Erie's jumbo perch last year season using maki plastic. I use them for everything. I have almost every plastic that makiplastic makes, in just about every color. My go to's are the jamei and maki in red and white. In case you are unaware, there are more options than what is offered by Clam Pro Tackle. There is a full website for maki.

I now make my own. I use extra soft plastisol. And they move a lot better than store bought .
However I did use last year when they came out. I thought they were pricey So I invested in a aluminum 2 pcs mold

Contraband Baits are all I use. blood worm bait has super limber action. There is a cool video on their facebook page

Coachkwj · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 20, 2014, 09:24 AM »

Custom Jigs and Spins, Atom, Trigger X, Powerbait. Never tried Maki. Sure they work fine.

I've been expanding my plastics assortment over the last few years. I prefer translucent/clear plastics over solid colors, especially on bluegills and tend to use them on micro presentations.

J&S Custom Jigs/Plastics - Ice Mite Jr. has been good.
Microspoon and Jigs - Domination Fry are fantastic but hard to get in a timely fashion. My last order was a several month wait.
Little Atom - Wedgies have their place

I really like glow plastics partnered with a glow tungsten jig for night time crappies. Experiment with plastics too by rigging them backwards or alter them to change the action.

i'm stating to use more plastics in my bag ''o'' tricks over live bait, don't get me wrong somedays that all they want to hit on, i like berkley line of stuff and i'v messed with the little atom plastics. I got some of the maki jamei to try this year, see what happens.

slowpoke69 · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 07, 2015, 07:28 PM »

I will be using plastics for the first time this year. The gf got me maki and trigger x. Just need to figure out a way to store them. I have s feeling I'll be expanding.

TeeBugg · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 07, 2015, 09:11 PM »

Those worm binders for summer bass plastics have work good for storage. I keep mine in the little bags and put em into a Plano clear box. You'll expand lol

slowpoke69 · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 08, 2015, 03:05 PM »

I was planning on that I would expand. Just wondering what others used. I was thinking plano but want something small enough to fit in a pocket.
