The thing that I have found is.....You can make a minnow bait look just exactly like a shad or any other type real minnow and the bass will love it and the crappie will not pay it much attention. But make it some bright wild un natural color and the crappie will nail it. I pull crank baits a lot and all summer long my best colors have been either pink or orange. Its the same way when I fish jigs.....something natural looking will not do as good with the crappie as a un natural bright color will. But I live in Mississippi and fish a lot of stained water so maybe that is why.
