Why do crappie like a still jig?
Has anyone ever thought about this? I know the easy answer is they just do but I was wondering what about a crappie makes them prefer this presentation. With bass and almost all other gamefish a seductive action usually triggers more strikes. In most cases with crappie it seems like it's the opposite. Too much action and sometimes anything other than just sitting there seems to spook them. i have caught way more crappie in my life with no action. Even a slow steady retreive when casting outfishes a jigged lure every time. When verticle jigging it almost always a still jig that gets the strike. Just wondering why.
