My fave Crappie lures!

[Crappitier]

Fishing for Crappie with my spin rod this year, I have had the best success with:

Drop Shot, Carolina, or Jig using:

#1 - Micro Spoon plastics

#2 - Gulp Alive minnows (smelt) 1" and 2 1/2"

#3 - Tungsten head white Woolybugger (size 10 3X)

Other than live minnows, what is your favorite lure for lake Crappie?

I have nothing to do with Micro Spoons, but I think their plastic is the best by far. Soft and super tough, and a wiggly tail with realistic eyes:

Tubes are my "go-to".

[NIMROD]

2'' Southern Pro Umbrella Tube




MEATGETTER's Spanky



Most locals know I fish two baits and one color a large percentage. They call the Southern Pro Umbrella tuble in purple/chartruse rigged with a 1/8 round leadhead on #2 hook pushed inside a ''nimrod special'' and the other bait is a MEATGETTER in 1/8 in a Spanky.

Electric chicken colored Hot grub or stinger shad

Use a #4 Sparkle spoon hook



1.5" Charisma Squirt

or just use a two inch live minnow on a #4 hook beneath a slip float.

#1 marabou and chenille jig

#2 marabou and chenille jig

#3 marabou and chenille jig


If none of them work, try a marabou and chenille jig.

#1 - 2" curly tail on a 1/16 oz. ball head jig.

Yall ain't fooling me!! I already have $100's tied up in Bandits. More $100's in soft plastics. More $100's in minner jigs. I ain't buying no more tricks of the day. Nope. Ain't going to do it.

HC,

Yeah, I forgot all about those tiny tubes. I've been spendin' a ton of money on Gulp and all the online expensive new lures!

The next time I'm at WalMart, I'll pick up a couple bags of 1 1/2" tubes ...... only a buck for a whole bag!
