Favorite lures for beginners?

[Les Young]

What would be good for somebody pretty much a beginner at crappie fishing to try? I'm wanting to find offshore brush with electronics & drop down to them. Tube, shad body like a garland etc. or what would be good to catch on with? Thanks

About any of the stinger baby shad baits will work just find a color their biteing. You can find them at most Wal-Mart and Academy stores

Ok thanks. I appreciate it.

Crappie magnets, Bobby Garlands, TTI Blakemore/Road Runners all work well for me. As stated earlier find the color and you’re in business. Slab and G Sauce doesn’t hurt either. Good Luck.

Having some variety in sizes helps also at times

The little keystone minnow is a good one also

Personally, Les .... I'd start ANY beginner out with a slip float & minner, just so they catch something starting off & not get bored or frustrated. THEN on any following trips I'd show them about casting a jig and letting it fall on the countdown method, then reel back real slow & watch the line for the thump. If I could hover over top of the cover, I'd show them how to *Vertical Cast and feel or see the thump (a tap or instant slack when reeling up).

Very true. A nice spread of minnows could sure up the action. Something very exciting about seeing the float bounce at the surface and then go under.
