Do you love big bluegill?

Fished from shore for an hour in the rain. By an inflow pipe. After getting the tail bite off this 1.5" soft minnow Bait , this Crappie got hooked .Missed many fish after that,they just nipped .Switched to another un -chewed body with paddle tail intact and nips but no takes .I threw a small float/hook and crawler piece in the area of the misses and quickly caught 10 BG, one WP and one PS.Had to pinch down barb .
Then switched over to a 16th oz. un-tipped Squirrel Tail Jig and got two WP , 2 YP and one Bass .Also had to pinch down barb.

The one I used here is a Storm 'Bait and Switch 16th oz. size.The packs I bought have three size heads ,16th, 32nd and 64th, and extra bodies.The bodies are extremely fragile and I have to say I am not sure I like these all that much .I just wanted to go smaller than the 2" Keitech Easy Shiner  I like better . I prefer the 1"  Gulp Minnows. for durability. I think Storm  should make a more durable version . I did catch some aggressive Pseeds and White Perch on this bait though . What brand do you use Slip?
