The BGBS are fine crappie baits. I use them quite often and as has been said, some I put on a 1/16 oz. head and others on a 1/8 oz. head depending upon what depth I am fishing. I really like the "Double Cross" jig heads (from Grizzly Jig Co.). I believe these are made by Crappie Magnet. They tend to hold most plastics on better and have never let me down.

I like the 2" size. I use them on a 1/16 jig head and they are very productive. I fish using a slip float that I make. That is all I need. Have some hot grease and hot sauce ready for later. This one is my favorite color combination.

I think mine are the 2 or 2 1/2 inch

1/16 if you want to stay tight to the jig . 1/32 if you like to free fall the jig
crappie often fall victim to real slow free falling loose line presentations

What they said.

I go with a heavier jig in deeper water, or if I want a big profile, and I use smaller jigs in shallow water, or finesse bites.

I use the BGBS a lot. My go to jig head is a minnow head from 1/32 to 1/8 with the heavy for vertical jigging. Hooks no smaller than #6 or the gap gets crowded and fish are missed. If I could only take a few they would be 1/32 and 1/16 with #4 black chrome sickle hooks. That’s the best I’ve found.

Have a bunch of them. Never caught a fish that I remember. Know lots of people swear by them
