I use crappie nibbles, I also use Slab sauce and G sauce. I think they do help especially if the crappie are in a neutral mood or are inactive.

If I loose my nibble in a cast, I consider that a wasted cast and reel it in and put another on. Secret to using them is open the bottle and pour them out in something i.e tupper ware container and put a fan on them for about 20-30 minutes stirring occasionaly. Need them to dry to the point that the outside is kind of leathery but NOT hard as a rock. Then put back in the bottle and fish. Properly dried out I can somtimes catch 4-5 fish on one nibble. I've tried every spray and scent on the market and all will help but nothing I've found out produces the nibble. That being said if they are actively feeding you don't have to put on anything but does it make a difference ? I'll consistently catch 5-1 as someone in the same boat fishing without one. usaly doesn't take long for a partner to ask to borrow a few of those. I keep a guest bottle in the boat just for that.

Without a doubt, I catch more fish with them. I fish more for bluegills than crappie, but they work. My jig looks naked without one.

Decent replacement for a waxworm. Still like waxworms better but nibbles are less trouble.

Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
The two loudest sounds are a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and one that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

I never believed in crappie nibbles until I kept reading about them on this forum. My experience from the last year of using them is that sometimes they make all the difference in the world. There are days that the fish absolutely will not bite a jig without a crappie nibble on it. I have no idea why they care so much on some days and not on others.

I learned from Scott, so yeah, I use them, but I also like G-sauce and other scents. I try anything/everything when they are being fussy.

I became so dependent on them so much that if I ran out I was done fishing till I could get more. Then earlier this year I started forcing myself to fish without them just to prove that I could catch fish without nibbles. Well, I actually did it I caught two crappie... and that was all I needed to prove that I could still catch fish using just a jig. On my next fishing trip first thing I did was stop and restock my supply of nibbles; I think they put something in them that absorbs into your fingers that makes them totally addictive must be the same for the crappie!
