Thread: Crappie Nibbles

Fish have a since of smell, nibbles have a scent of bait fish and the glitter just adds to the realism of scales coming off the bait when a fish hits, or an injured bait fish fleeing, the nibble also leaves a scent trail right in the crappies face when he follows your bait you can even see the scent trail in the water when you move the bait through the water. I also believe when a crappie bust your jig with a violent strike and explodes the scent and glitter in the water it triggers a feeding frenzy amoung other crappie near by dispersing the scent. I also think the nibble aids in the strike decision and makes the crappie hold onto the jig longer due to making the jig taste more like a Tbone steak and not just a piece of rubber or hair.

Here is my thought...you are trying to fool a living creature into thinking your offering is food...so why not make that offering as tempting as you possibly can by adding or simulating scent, size of prey, color, and sound if possible. By Doing this you know your doing everything you possibly can to simulate the real thing to your prey. I believe in a nibble and always use them.
