    Default Other lures beside jigs & deep divers


    I have a lot of trout lures, spinners,spoons. They look like minnows so i had the idea they should catch crappies. Is I in the ballpark there?

    Absolutely are. I have caught them on jigging spoons,rooster tails,panther martins and mepps. You just never know.

    Jigs are way better, IMO.

    I trout fish, and I have all that stuff too. But you’ll be far better off catching crappie....if you’re fishing cast and retrieve.....if you use jigs.

    Jigging spoons, lipless crankbaits, blade baits are a few others. Truth is, when you get used to pitching a jig you’ll be able to target and catch most everything that swims at one time or another. They look like minnows, and everything eats minnows.
    Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
