Hey Bruce! Did you ever try the MT Hellgrammites and Nymphs? The Black and natural colors have caught for me in the past.

There is a big dam near where I live and it's pretty loaded with crappie and gills. You use to have to walk a long downhill decent to the lake and a long ascent back up. About 10 years ago they built, roads, allowed small motor boats, and built docks at the breast. It's become a circus during the crappie spawn. It was at this dam we first used twisters plain, and tipped with minnows. There is a 9-inch minimum.

Very cool old nostalgic fishing stuff , hey Bruce! Glad you enjoy! What Mister Twister article are you referring to?

According to the Mister Twister article I was wrong. There were more than 3 colors offered and various sizes. Maybe I only shopped for the crappie size twisters at the time or the bass size didn't get to Pennsylvania until later. They worked as they were without tipping them with a minnow or other bait, although I also did that, too. Yellow ands white worked the best for me.

Wow! This is a gold mine of info right down to the articles at the bottom. I remember when Mister Twisters were first introduced. The first colors offered were yellow, white and black, I believe. Awesome reads!
