Do people still use Mr Twister brand plastics ?

[buick14]

Hey

 

I remember as a child mr twister was a big deal, and caught a lot of fish (or so it seemed).

 

Nowadays with salt impregnated baits, garlics, coffee etc I find myself asking this question ?

 

Mr Twister are durable, smell like plastic/rubber, and aren't exactly the cheapest out there by any means.

 

Is this something intermediate anglers use, or is it more of a beginner used brand nowadays?

[porkpie]

I use mister twister ripple tails or whatever they are called almost every time I jig for pickerel, that or a fin s fish. I'm a pretty intermediate fisherman in my opinion, but I've been using them for 35 years or more at least.

I have found better for less price in my eyes. I also like a bigger body.

[manitoubass2]

I use the red body white tail ones for pike often. Only one I use though

 

Much prefer kalins and yum grubs

[buick14]

Yah...Kalins are very very nice, and yums are good (but not Kalins good though)...

I add the 2 inch teenie to the back treble hook of all my crank baits. Works like a charm.

 

Oh, and up north the 3 inch chartreuse for walleye and 4 inch for northerns baited with a minnow always did the trick.

No idea if people still use them, but I made my own pony head jigs and sassy shads worked well on them, for bass or crappie.

 

Their hog frog made a good trailer on a spinner or buzz bait.

Use the 3 inch Mr Twisters for river walleye. Its the only option at the local tackle store for white grubs however

[Moosebunk]

Absolutely still use them!

[Big Cliff]

Still think a 3" mister twister on a 3/8 oz jig is the best walleye bait out there

[buick14]

Very interesting thanks for the responses so far

[DJGeneral]

I still use them to jig for walleye or if I don't wanna get my hands dirty when trolling using earie dearie's I slap those on instead of a night crawler works like a charm!

The second part of this is news to me. Can't wait to try that trick. Thanks.

was at crappy can last night and they have rebranded and are pushing a wide selection of twister tails...i sure as hell dont use em though.

The mister twister was a fantastic discovery I made around 40 years ago. As a kid my "opa" and I always trolled for pike using Williams Wobblers. One day I saw a Mr. Twister with a little silver spinner in his tackle box...an early precursor to a "spinner bait". I decided to troll that thing...outfished Grandpa so bad he soon switched. Both of us trolling Beetle Spins or whatever the heck they called em. I don't use them anymore, but it sure taught me spinnerbaits catch fish

Ya I also wondered if people still used them in that beetle spin type configuration also for anything other than crappie and rockbass . Man things have really changed tho...

[Bass Tard]

I still scoop the double tails for spinnerbait trailers 100% of the time.

[jimmer]

I still use the white twisters now. I switched back after Yum seemed to change the composition of theirs. Yum seems to be too stiff and the tail doesn't have the same action. I also like the smaller size at times.

[buick14]

I'm glad to hear people are still using it, it's always nice to see a company have such staying power after all these years. From what I know and have seen, at least in terms of the single tail grub, the quality hasn't seemed to change much if at all since I was a child.

[grimsbylander]

If you aren't paying $10 a bag for your plastics and throwing them on $500 rods and $300 reels there's zero chance you'll ever catch a fish. Oh, and don't forget to use tungsten jig heads only.
