Could I get you guys to give me the names of a 12-15 of the best crappie jigs / rigs, so I can see if I have them or can buy them.
Hot months the minnows is a waste of money keeping them alive.

Thanks Guys

If I could only have one kind of jig, this would be the one, hands down. Read this thread

Rtark is right about this bait, I had 3 other brands of jigs paired with the Bandit on the bottom jig...never caught a fish on the top ones!

Thanks Guys--I have a start---Those Slab bandits look like tadpoles to me.---I use a similar grub with that tail.--I have many many jigs--I just went wild buying them--probably have 2-300, but I plan on making some jigs also using different patterns and mixes.

give me some red/white and black/chartreuse solid body mini jigs such as the hog rustler and i will be content. As long as I have a jar of white crappie nibbles.

For colors a darker blue/black/chart. tail and an Elect. Chicken are hard to beat.

Pink/Chart. tube jig seems to be a good color for me day in and day out here on Lake Nimrod. Other good colors in this stained to muddy lake are Pink/White, Black/Chart.,Red/Chart., and Junebug/Chart.
