Are normal trout magnets effective at catching Crappie? Am I better off with either the TM Crappie set or I also have some 1/32 Mr.Crappie jigheads with some swimmertail grubs.
thanks!

TM's will catch about anything. You could also try the Crappie Magnet, which is a bigger version of the TM.
There are lots of good plastics that will work just fine.
thank you
They work but not any better than the hair jigs I normally use. And hair jigs can be fished all day long without having to adjust the body or changing out the bodies.
I use them all the time for crappie! Especially if the bite is tough and you need to downsize, they can be deadly.
Awesome thank you. I have to grab some more hair jugs lolQuote:

My experience has been that hair outperforms plastic in water Temps lower than 55 degrees.

I rarely post a crappie report on here. But I catch about 2000 crappie a year....all on Trout Magnets. It is a great lure but needs to be fished with light line. You can see the results of it with crappie on my YouTube channel....TroutMagnetMan.

I bought some of both earlier this year and while I have caught sunfish, bass, and pike with them, I have yet to catch a crappie..lol
I honestly think it's me, where and how I've used them. I need to put more time in with them on better fishing holes. The fact that I have caught the fish I have shows they are considered a tasty looking morsel to fish.
