I use Whips. Just google history of the whip. It is a good read.

I bought some from a guy that owns "Get Bitten Tackle". I haven't had a chance to use them since we don't have ice yet. They really seem to glow better than a lot of the ones I've used.

Think kjb is unfortunately gone.  http://www.panfishplastics.com/Default.asp  quality seems good, wish we had ice to really try them out though. Chigger Fry seems to have some possibilities

I like Little Atom wedgies, but other than online they have been hard to find this year. The one problem I've had with plastics is I get a lot of hits and the fish never get the hook in their mouth, they just grab the tip of the plastic. My catch rate goes way up on plastics when I can watch them hit on the aquavu or by looking down the hole. I do like fishing with them though.
I did try Berkley Gulp micro-ice maggots the last few trips and they were actually out producing real spikes and the bluegills were really sucking them down.
