i'm trying to get into the plastic game, but not sure where to start. looking for something pretty small with a nice whippy tail. i was wondering what your favorite types are

There are alot of different options out there. I would suggest buying a couple of different kinds and trying them out. That way it will help you decide what you like best.

bmxrider11976 · « **Reply #2 on:** Dec 22, 2011, 10:36 PM »

yeah i was just looking for some opinions on what people liked the most to get rid of some trial and error. i know there are alot out there but i wanted some for info on what people think about them before i buy

I really like Little Atom Nuggies and Micro Nuggies, also Little Atom Noodles fished wacky style, both with tungsten jigs. I use a TB Power Noodle with 2 or 3lb line. Get your favorite flasher out and you probably won't bother with live bait. Everyone I fish with, went from fishing 5 holes down to 1 or 2. ( they laughed at me when I got a flasher, until I started catching more then they all did)) I still like to dead stick a minnow if I am not going to move around much. I learned how to fish the plastics by watching Corey Betchel's video on Ice Fishing today.

PS.. I really don't think color makes much difference ,imho

I have used many different manufacturer's plastics and have decided that Maki Plastics work the best for me.

Small, Ma&Pa cottage industry type operation, usually have my stuff well within a week. Need to remember that there was a Holiday in there, heaven only knows what family oriented situation may have arrived un-announced. I use PayPal, don't always get confirmation from them directly but through PayPal, be patient, things will arrive and safely packed

On the lakes I fish, the perch love Lunker city fin s minnows, 2.75". Use a 1/32 or 1/16 jig head and drop it to the bottom (Prefer the proper lunker city jig head because the hook is deadly sharp, but use luck e minnow head jigs when I can't find them). When jigged correctly this thing dances like a real minnow with tiny moments. I am told these plastics work in the winter, but I do know they catch small mouth and perch during the soft water season.

I have used them on lindy fat boy jigs and caught some crappies on them. They have great action.

If I had to pick one, it would be the origional "maki". I use alot of natural and dark colors, white is also great.
The TOI is another favorite of mine. All the baits work but I rarely get past those two.

The sampler pack is a good option, with some other picks also...
