The Prunepicker What’s a slab other than a 1.5, 2.0 or 3.0 ounce chunk of lead? How’s a slab differ from a jigging spoon? Well, the slab is probably the best artificial lure on Lake Texoma in the summer time. The slab, although similar to a jigging spoon, is heavier and is hydrodynamically “clean” compared to the jigging spoon. The slanted surfaces of the jigging spoon that help it “wobble” as it falls through the water column, prevents it from sinking at the fastest rate. The slab has very little drag and once you drop it in the water, it sinks……fast……. I’ve been fishing Lake Texoma for over a decade. My introduction to slabs came through Mr. Ron Ludwig, Chief Geezer of the Six Old Geezers. Ron is affectionately known to us as Prune Picker……and his famous ‘chunks of lead’ are called Prune Picker Slabs. Ron is Mr. Slab as far as I’m concerned. 
Ron was generous enough to post on his web site, www.sixoldgeezers.com,
how to produce slabs. So, every since I read the site, I’ve made my own slabs. I use the same mold, wire forms, and
hooks as Ron did prior to his retirement. While his slabs are by far the best, ReAxtion Prunepicker Slabs are trying
to reach that level! 
 Below are Scale Pattern samples.
