I fish with jigs and nibbles only. Just tip the jig and hold on. Today my wife and I fished for three hours, caught 74 and brought 32 home.
Anyone use these? I got a little jar today, may try them tomorrow. What's the best way to use them? Tip jigs with them? Do you use them by themselves with any success?

I never really used them before I purchased a bait pump but now I wouldn't leave home without them! You just pump up your jig and HANG ON! Works great for me.

The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary!
SMILE- A curve that can set a lot of things straight!
I fish with solid body jigs on a collar jig, just thread the nibble on the hook til it touches the jig.
On hair jigs set a few out to let the get a little harder then tip your jig.
If you use tubes there is a thing called a bait pump and it works great or
just tip they the same way as the hair jigs.
Let's go fishing.
Crappie nibbles work great. I prefer the Berkley Power Baits. They seem to work better if you let them sit out for 10-15 minutes; they dry out a little and stay on the hook better. Just my 2 cents worth.
You might want to try the bait pump. You can read about it on baitpump.com. I have been using these for about a year now with tube jigs and they are great. You only have to re-bait about every 4th or 5th fish.
When I use hair jigs, I normally don't use Crappie nibbles, but when I am using hollow body plastics I use the bait pump that I bought at http://thebaitpump.com/
Like the others said, you only have to pump it every so often and when you tip the jig with the nibbles they are good for one hit.
You can't fish with a hung line!
I just started using them this spring and they seem to help. I've casted to a spot w/o one and nothing, then cast to the same spot, used the same retrieve with a nibble on and got fish.
Gonna use them from now on. I use tubes and all I do is put it on the hook at the bottom of the "J". I suppose getting it up into the tube would be good - ala bait pump fishing, but haven't gotten around to getting one of those yet.
