Bobby Garland Slayer a highly popular and versatile soft plastic fishing bait designed for catching crappie and other panfish. It is a staple among crappie anglers due to its effective action and rigging versatility.
- Design: The lure features a solid, ribbed body and a thin, flexible, spear-shaped cupped tail that creates a subtle, quivering "dancing" action to entice strikes from lethargic fish. The tail makes up a significant portion of the lure's total length.
- Versatility: It can be used with various crappie fishing techniques, including vertical jigging, casting, slow trolling, fishing under a bobber, and "dock shooting".
-
Rigging Options:
- Cup Down: Rigging the bait with the tail's cup facing down provides a more predictable, controllable jigging action, which is ideal for fishing around brush piles.
- Cup Up: Rigging it with the cup facing up results in an erratic, unpredictable darting or "fluttering" fall.
- Sizes and Colors: The bait is available in popular 2-inch and 3-inch sizes, as well as a smaller 1.25-inch "Itty Bit" version. It comes in a wide array of colors, including popular options like Electric Chicken, Monkey Milk, Cajun Cricket, and various "Mo' Glo" (super glow) formulations for low-light conditions.
- Compatibility: It is designed to be used with a jighead, working best with sizes from 1/24 ounce to 3/16 ounce.
