    Default 1/8 oz rat-l-traps?


    Anyone ever tried those little 1/8 oz rat-l-traps fro crappie? Methinks I'm gonna try some this afternoon. Probably going to put a split shot a foot or two in front of one and cast it in 9-15 ft water. I have some of those bitsy minnows I may try as well. I'd like to catch some bigger crappie in my pond.

    bitsy minnows yes these are great when fish are not real deep, very good spring time bait as crappie around shallower waters 8-10 feet

    Shhhh Throwback... keep these a secret. I've used them for years for crappie holding in 5 to 7 foot of water. The 1/8oz will dive bout 3 or 4 feet and the larger crappie just swallow them whole. I like chartreuse... shhhhhh

    Water I fish is only 9-15 ft deep. They should work great to cast while I'm trolling jigs. Maybe I'll pick up a few extra fish that way. Hopefully larger too!

    I like the bigger ones better, but I am usually fishing bigger bodies of water too.
