Great fishing secrets are hard to keep, so it’s little surprise that word got out early about a new creation
from Bobby Garland Crappie Baits. That bait, the Mayfly, is “hatching” now and already has become a
favorite among those anglers who got their hands on early hatches.

The Mayfly is a 2.25-inch insect-profile design that stays true to Bobby Garland’s reputation of product
innovation specific to crappie fishing. This new soft-plastic bait is loaded with features appealing to
multiple senses crappie rely on for feeding.

The Mayfly’s distinctive silhouette serves the species’ focus on vision and sight. The bait’s flexible
appendages and tail produce vibrations that crappie can “hear.” The lure’s light fish-oil enhancement
satisfies smell and taste. Collectively, these features bring the Mayfly to life.

The importance of lure profiles for triggering strikes from stubborn crappie has been brought to light
thanks to forward-facing sonar’s popularity in crappie fishing. The technology has allowed anglers to
witness firsthand how crappie react – or fail to react – to different lure offerings. The Mayfly not only
offers a distinguishable alternative to shad shapes, but it represents another common prey group for
crappie: insects.

The Mayfly’s solid body accommodates a wide range of jighead styles and sizes, from 1/32-ounce up.
The bait’s elongated tail is segmented with outer rings for strength, and tapers to an end fitted with
spindly twin appendages that wiggle enticingly, even at rest.

The Mayfly’s streamline design makes it a versatile choice suitable for a wide variety of crappie fishing
techniques, including finesse jigging, dock shooting and spider rigging, to name a few.

Among the 12 colors offered are solids, laminates and body/tail combinations, including Bobby Garland
favorites Blue Ice, Bluegrass, Cajun Cricket, Chartreuse Red Glitter, Electric Chicken, Mayfly, Monkey
Milk and Mo’ Glo Green Lantern. There are also four new colors exclusive to the Mayfly series: Spring
Fling, Neon Nymph, White Ice and Mo’ Glo Glow Worm.

Also unique to the series is the Mayfly’s special packaging, featuring a snap-close hinged lid, pleated
sides for roominess in protection of lure shape and appendages, and a high quantity of 50 baits.
