I find it courious that using a popper below surface seems taboo.Having caught crappie on a variety of live and lure,it seems completely logical to the lunatic in me that a luscious looking popper sinking slowly past a stump may be the next magic crappie catcher
I find it harder to grasp a crappie hitting them on the surface,but then again,I've never even fished a beetle spin with the original beetle,I've always had better luck replacing the beetle With just about any other plastic.I will be sure to let y'all know how well,or not a popper going deep works,I've got a hunch it will work
