The new line of Mr. Crappie plastics has smaller profile baits to trigger bites from highly-pressured fish. “After 25 years of designing crappie lures for the crappie world, Mr. Crappie again, has knocked it ‘out of the park’ with the all-new Lil' Suck’r, Sugar Glider, Crappie Cutter, Maxie Waxie, and Teen-Zee Sausage Head Jigs,” says Wally Marshall.
The Lil Suck’r is a small profile, shad pole style swim bait with a paddle tail and a subtle swimming action. It has a hot tail bait color scheme and will be very effective with highly pressured fish. This bait works really well on a 1/16 oz. and 1/32 oz. Teen-Zee Sausage Head Jig.
The Sugar Glider also uses Mr. Crappie’s signature shad pole style body but is unique because of its wings. (Or “wangs” if you’re Wally.) Because of the wings, the bait is able to accomplish a fluttering or gliding movement when shooting under a dock. Another unique feature is extruded square tail, causing a wiggle even when the bait is still.
The Crappie Cutter is a smaller shad pole style body with a curly grub style tail. This bait is most effective when used to cast and retrieve, allowing the ball at the end of the tail to produce great movement even at slow speeds.
The most versatile bait of the release, Maxie Waxie, looks unassuming but definitely packs a punch. This bait is a small, grub shaped bait with two strands of rubber through the center to create a very realistic insect profile. The best way to fish the Maxie Waxie is on a 1/64 oz. Teen-Zee Sausage Head Jig under a cork. Small but mighty, the Maxie Waxie is deadly for a variety of species.
Shrinking Mr. Crappie’s popular sausage head, the Teen-Zee Sausage Head Jig is optimized for use with small plastics. It features small gold hooks and eliminates the bait keeper to preserve the integrity and quality of small soft plastics.
“The Lil' Suck’r, Sugar Glider, Crappie Cutter, and Maxie Waxie covers the world when it comes to catching panfish and occasionally big bass loves the Lil' Suck’r line-up!” says Wally “Mr. Crappie” Marshall.
