Default Dollar store deals

Anyone fished with "northland mimic minnows" the old lady found these at the dollar store for $2 a pack and grabbed me some. Nice looking jigs, I do prefer real bait when possible but they do look good and seem to be made solid.

I've had really good luck with those in the past, especially the silver ones, and I actually scooped up about half a dozen packs of them last time I was at the dollar store here

I am going to go buy a bunch just for the jig heads. Maybe use the bodies when the bite is really aggressive and it doesn't matter if there is bait.

I've had good success with the perch pattern. Good deal for sure.
