I converted to jigs, 40yrs ago. I would say 50/50 back then with minnows. Since Crappie nibbles came out, my jigs are all I use. Nothing against minnows but I love my jigs, its the colors plus the nibble, that makes the difference. A friend and I went last spring, he used minnows and I used jigs, After I had caught 8 real slabs to his zero, he changed and we finished the day tied for fish caught.
