Reply With QuoteHow do you plan on fishing them? Trolling is what most folks do. The ones you selected run awful shallow.

Crappie on a crankbait
Hey guys I’m considering purchasing a crank bait to add to my tackle box for catching crappie. I read an interesting article of guys have success with them. I’m considering going with a Rapala brand the pictures below are the two I’m thinking on. I wanted to check here first to see if anyone has used either or has a go to crankbait. Thanks for any info on this and be blessed.

Yes sir I plan to fish them more on the shallow end cast and retrieve. Do you think that would be worth it? Where I like to go there is a really nice cove that holds 3 docks I like to shoot and I alway see schools of bait swimming under and around the docks. My plan was to offer another presentation with just a cast outside of the docks.Originally Posted by BuckeyeCrappie
All of my fishing done from a kayak and haven’t tackled setting it up for trolling. Anyway thanks for getting back to me.

You would definitely want shallow runners. Thanks for sharing the article!

I've got a bunch of small plugs I got for ul bass and never used till last year. Went with a cousin to Ochoco Res for crappie and tries them on UL, worked great. Got a bunch of bass but no crappie. I'm still thinking they should work. Years ago I tried one of thoise origional Rapalas for trout in East Lake. They don't dive at all! Put a 1/2oz bead weight in front of it about 18" and hoioked the biggest trout I ever hooked down with the weight in bottom and the plug floating above it. Might work with these small floating plugs to put enough weight to take them down a bit.
