Yes. Never had while crappie fishing yet. But last year I was bass fishing right after the spawn with a buddy of mine, we tried every trick in the book and nothing would take the bait. Seen a guy on the bank under a bridge and he was wearing some solid fish out, I got close to him and asked all the question what presintation and color. He said carolina rig a 7 in purple worm he had that tied on. So I dug through my gear got rigged up and started fishing bridges with that setup, went another three hours without a bite I packed up and went home.
