I love bass fishing, but I love crappie fishing even more. With that said, sometimes I use the finesse style lures for Bass fishing, which are actually somewhat large lures for crappies, but they still hit it!

For instance, I swim 4" Swimbaits and even the smallest crappie will bite it no problem, So with that said, I play with 3 inch Ned Rigs, or basically a senko/stick bait plastic on a jig head and target crappies that are on their beds! It even works on crappies that are not spawning and hanging around structure!

1/16 oz jigheads are what i use mostly but sometimes i use 1/8th if it's deeper waters. I normally use 3-4 inches plastics or sometimes i am lazy and I use prepackaged stuff like what is depicted here in my video, the Matzuo Ned Style Rigs. Comes in a pack of 5
