Thread: To Nibble or not to Nibble

In the world of jig fishing, I have notice more and more people using crappie nibbles to tip their jigs, I have not fell for it yet. Am I missing out on a good thing by not using nibble? If I am what colors work the best. I have seen them with sparkles and without sparkle? Who is the expert on this subject, I always just tip my jigs with minners.

I tip my jigs with nibblets also have a bait pump to inject the nibblets into tube jigs

I call the nibbles Crappie Candy. I use Chartruse, Pink, or White. Yes, dry them out a bit in a well vented area. Do not spread them out in a closed grage etc. you will not like the end result. I do not use the ones with glitter. They can make a mess in the bottom of ones boat. If this occurs, let them dry before you try to clean up the mess. If you do not let the fallen candy dry before you try to wipe it up on carpet you spread the heck out of it. I only tried to clean up a fallen piece of wet candy once.:D
I hope my two cents helped. Keep tight lines.

Your imagination is your only limitation. When spider riggin..I even add the tube portion to the hook and maybe even a nibble or as i call it candy. There is my two cents worth.

Love them Char. nibbs...we call them Crappie Candy !! But i hate getting them in the boat carpet....

I have used the Chart Nibbles every since I was heavily out fished one day by a guy that was secretly fishing them. If you can't whip them, join them.

The bait pump is the way to go, the nibbles last longer as a paste inside the tubes. They do make a difference. They make a difference just on the hook but they don't last as long.

I started using them this past year and while it was a tough year, I can say that I think they do make a difference.
