Last year, I paired the Drop Kick jig with the Jamei Maki plastic and it was what I used for probably 90% of the season. I caught crappie, bluegills, perch, rainbow trout, splake, and even a few lake drop on the larger size Drop Kick and Jamei XL size. This combo was the reason I only used meat on maybe a half dozen occasions all winter. I fished this combo in anywhere from 5' to 30' of water last season.
