What’s more importance than size/color/profile/presentation would be to have the confidence to believe that if you drop your offering on the forehead of the crappie, he will bite it. If you are wishy washy about your lure choice for ANY reason you will not fish it with the finesse and patience that it requires to catch these fish that aren’t spawning.
Now that you have that in your toolbox it’s time to fish, and fish with a purpose. 1/16oz jigs are a good place to start, chartreuse and white colors are pretty good on just about any lake, and any bait resembling a shad should work. If someone stole my jig box today, and all I owned was some 1/16 oz white jigheads and a solid chartreuse shad body style bait I know that I will go out and catch fish (Confidence is key). I wouldn’t get too hung up on the never ending styles and colors of baits, focus on presentation, pay attention to the thermocline that is now forming on most Kentucky reservoirs and be slow & deliberate with your jig delivery. Err on the side of caution and fish slower and smaller, see how that goes.
