I have used jigging spoons for crappie. No real one that shined above the others. I used blade baits with good success also. Of course, be careful around timber and brush or you won't see the very often before they get hung never to return. Weedless single hooks was something I wanted to try but never got it done. Drifting flats and jigging the bait up and following it down(so the hit can be felt) is what I did. Good luck with it, and a small ball bearing swivel eliminates the line twist. Tight lines........Skeet.
