All I use is Southern Pro tubes . I like insert jig heads . Only 2 baits . Orange/chartreuse Little Hustler 2.5'' on a 1/4 oz or purple/chartreuse Umbrella tube on a 1/8 oz jighead . Presentation means much more than color or bait to me . Livescope has proved alot of what I believed as I have put a bare unpainted jighead on their nose and bam ! . Crappie sit right on bottom real often and perfer baits still as possiable . Lots of guys thought Crappie were not biting when going to favorite brushpiles with no luck . Look out in the open and many times on bottom , put a jig on them and game on . I like longer rods because I can hold it on their nose and farther out . To show guys about not jigging their baits alot for years I showed them this . Hold your bait out on your line on a long pole and try to hold it still . That jig vibrates or wiggles just from your heart beat no holding it perfectly still no matter how you try . Nothing beats confidence no matter what bait or pole you fish with .
