For the spawn I really like using the slider when the fish are shallow. Took home 20 - 10 inchers yesterday (25 % minnows and 75 % sliders). Two of us took home 40 -10 inchers today caught mainly on minnows since the fish didn't seem to be as active up shallow today.
I really enjoy feeling the crappie hit the slider. Its tough to have to use minnows and watch the bobber instead of feeling the thump. I really think you spider rig fishers and bobber fishers are missing one of the greatest parts of crappie fishing by missing that THUMP or LINE TICK while fishing. Its a wounder they don't outlaw this ( THUMP or LINE TICK ) because this addiction is worse than crack cocaine. :D
I don't know what that charliebee or whirly bee is unless its that super short itsy bitsy slider. I haven't tried them yet.

Preach it LBM. You are dead on about that bump or tick or tap! Man I love it. I love the slight tap, then you set the hook and theeen feel the weight of that slab crappie. If at any time I am crappie fishing and they are catchable with a cast and retrieve, I'll pass up all other methods to do so. I'm like that with bream, speck trout, red drum, flounder, bass, white bass, hybrids, etc etc.
