BigAngus752 Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 I might have the opportunity to go fishing this weekend. This is incredibly rare for me right now as I'm working two jobs so I don't get to be picky about conditions. We have flash flood warnings right now and the water will be high and muddy this weekend. I'm still trying to stick with my commitment to fish only jigs and plastics this year but I don't have a good understanding of how to identify plastics with not much "action" and those with a lot of "action". I will need something flappy and noisy if I go this weekend. Here's a list of some of the craw/creatures I have in dark colors. If anyone can shed some light on which have the most action it would be much appreciated. If you could tell me the difference between the ones that do and don't and why that would be a bonus. Rage Tail Structure Bug Rage Tail Menace Yum crawdad Berkley Crazy Legs Chigger Craw Berkley Bearded Grass Pig Doomsday Tackle Devastator 3.8 Yum Christie Critter I also have some monster-size worms (some with bright-colored ribbon tails) and some lizards if you recommend those instead. I'll also be throwing some larger profile jigs with rattles but I want to be prepared with some T-rigged plastics. Thanks in advance. Quote

That Chigger Craw & the Rage Bug both put out a decent vibe. Additionally, I think a Grass Pig is a paddle tail swimbait - nice action though. Good Luck A-Jay 1 Quote

I was thinking the Rage Bug should displace a significant amount of water. And I left out an important part of the pig description...it's a bag of Bearded Grass Pigs. It is designed to be a swim bait but it looks like a freakish shrimp or squid. It's heavily salted and has a very heavy body. I've not had a chance to get one in the water yet but I would think a bass would eat it just because it's so ugly. LOL Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted June 20, 2019 Super User Posted June 20, 2019 Well I am a HUGE fan of the Rage Bug. It has accounted for several very respectable bass for me the past few seasons. Especially hanging on the back of a swing head or a vibrating jig. A-Jay 1 Quote

A-Jay I generally hang a paddle tail off of my vibrating jigs. I will give the bug a try! Thanks 1 Quote
Super User Koz Posted June 20, 2019 Super User Posted June 20, 2019 With the muddy water I'd bring along a chatterbait and use some of those soft plastics as trailers. My go to chatterbait trailer is a Pit Boss. Quote
