    Default plugs, flatfish, divers anyone fish them for crappie?


    I have been looking at getting some blanks and doing some custom colors for crappie and panfish. I haven't seen anyone on here talk about using them for crappie.
    Anyone have any pictures of what they have made or used for crappie as far as plugs, flatfish, or other similar type lues?

    I don't specifically target crappie when fishing crankbaits but have had some good days fishing square bills and when I catch crappie on them they are good ones. They work well trolling and lot's of people do fish cranks for crappie. Shad raps work for me as well in a #5 and #7, had crappie swallow a #7 so deep you could only see part of the bill.

    I use PICOs and bandits mostly. I’ll have some pictures to share in a few weeks. Stay tuned…

    I'm usually a minnows with a slip bobber or dropshot crappie fisherman, but when I do troll for crappie, this Bill Dance fat free shad in pearl white is my number 1 for crappie.

    My Mom & Stepdad used to catch some nice Crappie trolling Sparkle Tail lures. I collected several of them at the local Swap Meets, but never got around to using them when Pushing cranks for Crappie. Got Livescope a few years back & most of my Pushing jigs & cranks days have gone by the wayside. BUT ... when the time is right for Pushing cranks, them Sparkle Tails are gonna be put to the test.

    Here's the lure (pic taken off the Internet to show the shape & design)




    In reality, most Crappie I've caught Pushing cranks have been on Bandit 200's/300's ... which is what I started with when I first started Pushing cranks/jigs. I have caught Crappie on several other brands of cranks, trolling and Pushing, but just never really got heavy into using cranks before the Livescope craze got started.
