We call em pinkies here but yea they work well at certain times... just like any other time crappie fishing, sometimes they like pinks over silvers and vice versa.Quote:

I use Rosie’s frequently and I solved the availability issue by stocking them in my pond and raising them. I just put 2-3 traps in the pond baited with cattle cubes and check in 2-3 hours.
If you have a Pets Supply Plus, they also carry them.
Up here in PA we have Red Fin Dace in the creeks, the males turn bright red orange in the spring. If you can catch some with a net around that time, the red males are choice for big breeder crappie. They usually run about 3"-3.5" long.
Correction - they are blacknose dace - but the males turn red when they spawn
