WOW this is a dusty thread 2007' who knew? oh yeah what is a I phone?

Crappie nibbles.

Berkley Gulp Brand crappie nibbles all day long ......
Glo White is my favorite ....don't leave home without em ....

For Crappie, I use Chartreuse glow nibblets only, my plastics already have powdered squid scent in them.
When I use hard baits I use PRO-CURE scents.

It's my favorite crappie scent. It's much better than that old Blackberry scent I used to use.

Tried them all, Crappie Nibbles is the best by far.

Just goes to show that throughout time this has been a topic of discussion for fishermen.

Welcome from Toledo Bend. I use some stuff called "Smelly Jelly" on my custom tied jigs. It comes in several favors, but the garlic and baitfish work the best for me. Tight lines.
