Lure Colors
I have been at this crappie jerkin' for over 50 years. I have my own 'favorite colors', as do each of you. Personally, I don't think color is really an issue, given a lure that moves slowly and looks easy to catch should work. (Crappie have no McDonalds to go to, so that have to eat when they can!!) BUT ---- I am seeing two colors that APPEAR (stress that word 'appear') to work a bit better. ANYTHING with chartrusre is crappie favorite. Plus, RED appears to be a good attractant. I have a jig in my sponsor line that has a chatreuse body and a red tail ---- guess what? It is not as productive as a solid cartreuse or a solid red. Go figure that one over a cold brew!!!!!
