Everyone else has hit on the Chicken Boy and trout support lures.

I really like the Marker 54 popping cork shrimp. I have a few, and we usually fish live shrimp under a popping cork around here. I keep one rigged up and will toss it along side my buddy who is using live shrimp and catch just as many as he does.

 

TroutSupport Lure Grasswalker is my go to.

 

Ryan, regarding Chuckenboy lures, like any other lure, it all depends on water color, time of year, etc. I like the “roach” this time of year, a curly tail like the whippin chicken. New penny is always a go to. As I move into fall and chase flounder, lighter color lures work well.

Pair them up with a jig head, weight depending on wind/tide.

 

Chickenboys are one of my go to lures in the marsh. Whippin chickin is one of my favorites. Color depends on water clarity and where you fish. Chicken on a chain is a classic, T Roach, Chicken on a bone, and new penny. Rig on a 1/4oz (or weight of your choice) jig and bounce it off the bottom.

 

I'm a big fan of the Bubba Clucker lures. I usually throw either Hoochie Mamma or Johnny Goldlfish. Put it on a 1/4oz jig head and swim it just off the bottom. If a redfish sees that, it will eat it!

 

Chicken Boy's are great for flounder... great time of year to start with them. Hey, don't get me wrong.. I love my bait for what it does... I have a lot of fans.. and the little bubba clucker is a motha ***** LOL. Great little bait and Joe is hilarious. Good guy.

Any of the Chicken Boys are great, pic your confidence color in either of them and get ya a couple packs; go to work.

 

Bubba clucker in Texas roach!!!!!

 

TSL or CB

Cant go wrong with Joe and Chicken Boy, which one of my favorites is Bubba Clucker Red Headed Step child with 1/8 jig head:
OR truly enjoy Tobin's TSL Grasswalker Golden Roach or Plumtreuse rigged weedless.

Both of these plastics are very durable, and a necessary addition to your arsenal to catch quality fish.

 

Any other local Texas soft plastic makers I should check out?

Another is the Kden.. super tough and great wiggle for deep reef tossing.

Never heard of them before. Thanks for sharing. I really try to support locals, so will have to try these out. Sadly, I am done with SW Assassins, as they just dont have the longevity they once had.

 

Is Chickenboy still a sponsor here and does Joe still own the company? I catch a lot of fish on chickenboys.

 

Yes

 

Where are KDen sold? I see his online store, wondering if he might be at Tackletown in Rockport?

 

Fried Chicken

The 5" Fried Chicken Shrimp are my favorite Chicken Boys...but they're getting harder to find. This is my #1 "go to" plastic. Try Roys or Tackle Town....even the HEB in Flour Bluff has more tackle then Academy in Corpus.

I would second what Troutsupport said, great time of year to check out the Bubba Clucker for flounder.

As to other Texas soft plastics, the Troutsupport lures are game changers, IMHO. They take a little extra effort to get the right hook (not a standard jighead) and set up, but once that's done, they are the most versatile, longest casting, tough as nails lure out there.

But yeah, get you some Bubba Cluckers in a white color and a red color and go get you some flounder before November.

 

Years ago my son won largest flounder using a 3" Chicken on a Bone shrimp. He will never forget that.

 

The chicken boy bubba clicker is the best flounder Lure in the planet earth ... I prefer the roach color even in clear water, with a football jig head worked like a drop shot.

As for the “other” lure ... it’s a curl tail but it’s a true paddle tail design, and will be available Sunday when the website gets updated.

Dang. You are definitely on 'em!

 

perfecto pink pollo is what we like. I find them all to work pretty well. the longer ones work better for red fish and the smaller football shaped ones work well for flounder.

 

Pull up some old posts to see too.


CB is a great guy and easy to pick out in a crowd or one the roost.



He is full of it so you have to look where you step when he is on a roll.


CB also sells some good stuff to put on the baits for smell. I like the shrimp but hear the chicken S scent is home made and good too. Pull up his web site or email him is you need to.
