just bough a few packs of their 4" ring fry. i was thinking trying them wacky, carolina rigged, and maybe drop shot?

how do you guys use em?

they smell absolutely amazing. i love the garlic/salt.

also, are there any other things from their lineup you guys like?

Haven't used them much yet but the magic shad have great action and a good rep.

My new favorite line of plastics...

Hyper Freak=awesome

Craw Tube=awesome

Live Magic Shad=da bomb!!

They used to be my secret bait :-/ I love throwing them wacky under docks...killer bait

Good thing my other secret pitching bait by LF is still somewhat unknown

I just got my order of Magic Shads. Can't wait to use them... As soon as they stop bouncing off the lake.  >

Ring Fry and Hyper are on the list as well.

Ring fry is an awesome c-rig bait. Also love them t-rigged weightless

Just bought a pack of the superfreaks tonight can't wait to put them to use. LF makes some baits with awesome actions caught my PB on a Live magic shad.

Magic Shad and the crawtube have both brought many river Smallies to the boat.  We mostly fish the ring fry wacky style...if you use the o-ring, they last much longer.

if you are using them wacky, why this instead of a senko?

i guess what im tryin to say is are there certain times/conditions that you use these and not senkos???

I just picked up a pack of the tube-craws, I'll be trying them out this week at a heavily pressured warm-water discharge lake.  I like the way they look (and smell), but what will Mr. Bass say?

Slower fall rate and larger profile, the rings also displace water and create a bubble trail making them easier for the fish to find.

IMHO LFT has a great line of plastics, with very few "duds" in their lineup!

Ring fries are the goto bait in this area - you can T-rig, C-rig or even fish 'em weightless (they will case that way) - another trick is to stick a nail weight in their butt while fising them "weightless" - this gives 'em another presentation.  You can also drop-shot 'em or use 'em on a shakey head.

Awsome lures.

X2 on RR's response.

Don't overlook the baby ringfry...sometimes it works better than the 4" version, even wacky rigged.

The magic shads are great, even greater on a chatterbait.

I've been using their pig claws for the past year. Very nice subtle trailer that adds a good amount of bulk. Not a lot of action, but you can give it action by yo-yo-ing your jig like a rat-l-trap (only you do it a lot gentler, and yo-yo it so that it bobs up only a few inches and then falls a few inches, etc.). I've had several bass swim up to my jig and inhale it a couple of feet from shore while staring me in the face by doing that.

Better buy them up because my understanding is that they're being discontinued.  Overstock had a bunch on their site a few months ago.

Whenever I splitshot a light, finesse presentation, I use the 4" Ringfry. Have had some big takes on this set-up.

I had good luck with a splitshot rig as well.

*OFF TOPIC*

Do you use a barrel swivel to stop line twist??

Use a mojo style sinker and there is way less twist, plus no hangups

live magic shads   

very versatile.

weightless like a fluke...with better action

weighted swimbait hook

rigged on a sworming hornet...(thanks RW)

or on a chatterbait

i've even put a split shot on about 18" in front for a little faster fall

the action is one of the best.. imo

According to the back of the bag, the ring fry should be rigged wither shakey head or texas rigged weightless. I just got a bad and Im waiting until the ice melts to use em. Im looking forward to see what they can pull up.
