power bait crappie nibbles

[ezgoing]

I prefer not to use them but I keep a bottle in the boat for those days when the crappie will not bite without one of them on the hook. I also have a bottle of G Sauce as there are days when that is all that will work. I use minnows when nothing else will work. Then there are days like yesterday when nothing would work. Fished 5 hours, numerous brush piles at different locations, bridge pillars, and my slips. Did not catch a single crappie but did catch some nice sized bluegills.

They are not the magic bait. But It's confidence thing and they are always on my hook.

The secret to having drier nibbles is to separate them into two jars. They need room to dry out. When I run out of them in one jar, I open a fresh jar and pour half of the new jar into it and set it aside. When one of the half jars gets low, I open up a new jar and split that jar with them. Then pickup the half jar I poured previously and use them. I keep repeating this process and I always have drier nibbles ready to go. I always have at least three jars getting ready to go. And that’s of both colors I use. I’ve found that different colors work better on different lakes so I have some ready for the lakes I fish.
If you don’t have a second jar to split them up, put half of your jar in a baggie and leave in the sun for a few hours during your trip for the day.

I also do the two jar trick and add new nibbles as needed. I shake the jar and if I get a rattle it is usually good to go. If the nibbles get to hard I wet a piece of paper towel and place it under the lid. I check for hardness every so often to get the consistency I want. A great product; I wouldn't go fishing without it.

Really good info in this thread! I'd not heard about drying them out to keep them on the hook better, but I'll definitely be doing that now.

I dry out chartreuse nibbles and use them every trip and have been for several years. Gills love them!

A nice mess o’fish DFD. That sounds like a nice tip on the nibbles as well, EZ.

I use 2” tubes in RR and inject the nibbles filling the tubes up. Works great!

I seem to have better luck with them when they are fresh, soft and smelly. When I try to use some that are dried out they just don't perform as well for me. Now I am not casting since that would sling the soft ones off, I mainly do some slight pitching under docks or vertical jiggling.

Do y’all notice that you catch more catfish when using nibbles ?

Use nibbles all the time, some slab sauce also.
Don’t try the red nibbles, unless you are wanting to boat some bass! LOL
That’s a running joke on my boat, and does seem to happen a lot!
