    Default Lure Question? Will these work for Crappie?


    Ok guys here is a dumb question from DUMB OLD DW!!! I purchased these lures a couple of years ago at Wal-Mart during a close out. If it isn't a 1/32 to a 1/16 oz lead head with a southern pro skirt or a live minnow I haven't used it on Crappie! So here are a couple of questions for you all!

    #1. Will these work on a Spider Rig setup on Crappie?

    #2. Or is all I have is some of those green carp lures?

    I'm sure they will work fine. I've caught them on plastic worms while fishing for green carp. Catch them with jigging spoons like the yankees use up north. Catch them all the time on crank baits. I have no doubt those will work as well.

    Well Speck honestly when I saw them I thought that hey it would be nice to sometimes have something that looked like a minnow when I was jigging that was the reason I purchased them. And I thought that if I didn't like them I could always show them to Paula and let her fill her tackle bag with them. That might keep her out of my good jig colors. Plus it might slow her catching down until I could catch up with her!

    Thanks for the reply Speck!

    DMW, have used those top ones on Sardis and Enid. Usually push them about .6-.8. When they hit you know it. Seems they work a little better towards the fall when they really get on the bigger shad. See no reason why the others would not work the same way.
