    Default Keeping it extremely simple?


    If you were going to vertical jig with livescope 90% of the time when crappie fishing what would be your main style & size of soft plastic lures & also 3 or 4 colors for clear to slightlly stained water that are constant producers? I'm trying to not get overloaded with plastics & also overwelmed by all of the choices & trying to keep it as simple as it gets. Since i make my own bass soft plastics i may buy a couple crappie lure molds so this would help in mold choice too. Thanks guys.

    Not really limited but just trying to figure out a few proven day in day out colors & dont want to have 25 colors of everything under the sun. Been there done that with bass fishing & after years finally scaled it back to what i fish 90% of the time & it's a lot better from me in my opinion& way cheaper with a lot less to give away that i won't use. And besides you guys know as i get more into it i'll add to the arsenal just like you all have seemed to by the suggestions already given.

    I understand. In my thinking with what I suggested you have a good variety. Dark, light, natural and bright. Plus all these colors I know work. White could be something like monkey milk or blue ice as suggested.

    Bobby Garland Baby Shads the difference I notice in these versus other shad type baits is the shape, when hooked correctly with light jig heads the V shaped body gives a suttle rocking motion when sinking. Daves color selection covers most bases.

    I've got a bunch of packs of garland baby shads, crappie magnets, crappie thunders & a few colors of marabou jigs in 1/16 & 1/8 ounces. Also interested in possibly buying a couple molds of good proven bait styles that work good for this style of fishing. I have a dual injector so i can make 2 color baits at least & have micah powders & hilites too so i'm good there too. Thanks
