I just want to say thanks to the B-Y baits guys for making an awesome product. These plastics exceeded my expectations! I’ve tried ice plastics before and had minimal success. (I probably didn’t give them a fair chance before going back to bait) Saw these on ido and ordered some. Today was the first time I had a chance to use them. I was doing my normal jig or spoon with spike or waxxie and could not even get a bite. After an hour or so of this I thought I might as well give the new plastics a try. I was really not expecting much because I’ve always thought of plastics as a bait for more actively feeding fish. (even though I’ve read that’s not the case here on ido) I didn’t exactly kill em today but I did end up catching about a dozen gills and crappies on a Minnie mert with a B-Y baits copper colored mudbug. It was a good experience for me to see that even when I couldn’t get a bite on the same bait with a spike on it the plastic did the trick. Thanks to you guys on IDO that let the rest of us know about them.

I just ordered some today. They have 20 percent off right now. Figured I would give them a try. Never had much luck with plastics but the price and shipping cost was good.

You did not just say that! I assume you were joking, but I have caught a few fish on rubber bands cut lenth-wise into skinny strips and then attached to the back of jigs. The big flat ones cut the best.
