Salmo Chubby Darter
Has anyone used the little Salmo Chubby Darter other than thru the ice? Seems like it would be a great vertical jigging bait for spring, summer and fall. Tip the front hooks with waxworks or maggots and start jigging..

I've seen it mentioned in In-Fisherman a few times, but I have not yet tried it. Sorry.

Great bait that commands a great price... the Lindy darter is almost identical with a couple dollar discount. I use them thru the ice vertical jigging. I lost two already to the first two fish i hooked I’m assuming they were pike.
I lucked out last year in the middle of ice fishing season i got a handful at a greatly discounted prices.
I never tip em because it greatly reduces the vibrating action.
On the ice I basically use them as a decoy working the bait in an adjacent hole brings the fish in and they refocus on my jig n bait.
