Thread: #1 Gill/Cracker Bait

Tip a 1/64 oz Popeye feather jig with a nice white or
chartruse crappie nibble...and hang on !

But crickets always seem to produce, too...if you are out
of nibbles.

This is what i use............

Some pretty nice bait on there

Jigs are cheap and lots cleaner than live baits.:D

Here is mine a 1/64 oz leadhead with pink trout worm. If they don't hit good try adding a Crappie Nibble.

thanks for the link kid, i will have to try some on a fly rod,some good looken critters.

I usually use some type of jig (plastic,hair or ice jig) tipped with a maggot or 2.Sometimes i use nibbles or gulp maggots or waxies.

I forgot I use a fly(wooly worm type I tie,though not as fancy) tipped with a maggot.I use these with a casting bubble(clear),slow retrieve or let them sit.

live bait will get the numbers,artificals will get the better fish. my pref. is a beetlespin

I am stuck on crickets.. Less mess than worms.

I gotta agree. And with an ultra-light, a lot more fun.
