Thread: Article: Are crappie anglers blinded by science? by Brad Wiegmann

I just ordered 3 tubes to try. I have tried all of the products out there, none come close to Crappie nibbles. We will see!

It's funny that you say that. Because the last test I did was shad scales against nibbles. And believe it or not, the scad scales caught fish 10 to 1 compared to nibbles. Honest truth.

Since you like the nibbles, if you haven't already, pick up a jar of the Gulp Alive 2" fish fry. In the last 3 weeks we have been killing giant 10-11" bull bluegills and 12-14" crappies on them in chartrueuse. I just thread them so they lie straight on a baitkeeper under a slip float. I've also had really good luck simply throwing them and reeling in really slow.

Last Saturday was an overcast day after 3 days of rain. We went out and couldn't get anything to take a crawler or jig. We threw these on and managed to make a stringer with 10 very nice gills and 2 crappies around 11". We fished both deep water brush and shallow flats, and if it wasn't for the Gulp bait we would've been skunked.

Good luck!
