A jig tipped with a minner is the most deadly fishing bait in crappie fishing. Word Up!!!
I feel I do alright and don't spend much either. In last 1/2 dozen trips I've lost 1 Meatgetter hand tied , 2 unpainted jigheads, and maybe 4 plastic tubes. That's less than two bucks worth of tackle for 6 days of fishing. Minnows @ 6 bucks x 6 trips would be 36 bucks plus lost tackle. I feel as long as I can catch fish on something like a Meatgetter jig or umbrella tube without minnows. Then why go to the trouble and expense?
