Jigs will catch any species in fresh or salt water. This article contains all you need to know to learn jig fishing. Focus on the "how to". The slider is a great bait, but the method works with ANY jig. Also, you don't have to use the weedless jig heads shown here. (I prefer an exposed hook.)

I really do need to leave the bait at home, guess I need to have a couple empty handed fishing trips in order to really learn the art of jigging.
Has anyone used cranks for brim? I've used them on large mouths and I saw mini's at the local bass pro for crappie.
I actually have the crappie magnet, or panfish magnet can't remember. I have a hard time understanding what they are saying to do. It says to not jig it because it is supposed to fall horizontally. I will look at that link you posted I'm sure it has plenty of great information.
Add a Crappie nibble to your jigs, it will really bring them in.
That article was of the better ones I have read. I actually copied and filed that to visit and revisit. I would also say that fishing productive water is also one key to success with any bait or lure. No Duh right. It took me a while to figure how to do that fishing for BG&SC. Being and X bass fisher my technique was backwards. I would float parallel to the bank and cast out and pull in hoping to find that hidden wash tub of fish. Had a really weird day today. The fish were in 6 FOW. Till it started lightning and then they were on the trailer headed to the lake of grease.
