Chart.SPK One is Pepper and ones is Salt as pictured. Hooks ARKE RTlH-132 Bloodline-Jig Heads-10pack 1/32 oz and 1/16oz. The Char. Red Head is Squirmin Squirt from bass pro shop. Tubes all are short 1.5in. and are hollow. The crappie niblets in whike Bye Berkley. This is what I fish with at any given time under a slip bobber. In winter I vertical jig because I'm finding them in sixty to seventy foot of water.

Ken, ever try using a baitpump to fill your tubes? I find that i get many more crappies as it lasts a lot longer than a single nibble thats exposed. Dont knock it til you try it.

Your right...a Bait Pump and crappie nibbles is the only way to go when fishing tube jigs.

how do you get your lure down that deep & how long does it take to get that far down.?

I love my baitpump. Don't know what I ever did without one.

Use either a sinker above your jig or you can rig Kentucky style with the weight on the bottom of your line and your jig above it on a short leader. Either way...when you pick up and drop the jig the jig movement is not affected by your sinker.

Old Ship uses a "modified" Kentucky rig to get his jigs down deep.

I gave up on the bait pump. Never could get the minner to be still enough so I could shoot the juice up its rectum.:o
