One thing i always wondered was tipping a jig with small piece of live worm or just using a worm on a jig head. This seems like the best of both worlds old school pan fishing and newer jig head combinations. I'm sure someone has tried this out??

Diddo. I purchased the Berkleys Gulp! Alive Minnows .... not one bite. I purchased the Bobby Garland Mo' Glo Slab Jam .... not one bite. I purchased the Crappie Nibbles .... again, not one bite.

End result, they went in the trash can. I put a fresh hook on with a live minnow, I caught 6 in 20 minutes. I'll stick to what I know works for me.

Have a great day! I found someone through facebook that is going to take me night fishing for Crappie, so I'm pumped about that!! Wish me luck!
