best Lure for bottom jigging?

[Just_Bass]

bigger black crappie tend to be less aggressive sometimes and a hesitant jig is likely to get hammered by a larger fish rather than a passing bait that requires a chase . my 2 cents ...blackies don't chase near as fast as whites or as much or as long in my experience ….luck to ya

Thank you, I didn’t know that and I would think otherwise. I’ll make sure to use more 1/32oz jig but 1/64 that is gonna be too light.

Love how CDC folk jump in with very useful suggestions on how to getrdone. Good suggestions all and are giving me ideas on doing things differently on my home lakes. good video and giving me ideas on how to fish certain areas.

Lol, I didn’t know you are interested in my outfit. The rod is majorcraft benkei 6’7 Light, I use this rod for both crappie and bass. The rod rated as BFS so have enough backbone to handle bass but with soft tip that can cast 1/16oz jig head with baby shad. Roadrunner is 1/16oz which I use the most when searching for fish. The reel is old school Shimano aldebaran mg7 (only 5.5oz) with yumeya shallow spool fill with 10lb braid.
BTW I went fishing same spot just now to try new stuffs I just got from bass pro , caught about 20-30 crappies, most of them hit on the drop either after hop or after cast. In this case the supposed to be 1/32oz jig head (I weighted it and got 1.2 gram ~ 1/24oz) get the most bite. BTW Bobby garland swim’r rock. The biggest crappie about 10” caught on 1/24oz with swim’r and bluegill with bps brand marabou roadrunner.

Oh in video is Tsrinoya 7’2 UL, I got this rod for casting distance alone since I know most of the time I’m gonna be fishing from bank, even though I have a kayak, float tube and Jon boat. I have total of 3 set up that I prepared for crappies alone. That’s how serious I am about crappie fishing.
About braid line, normally I don’t use leader, but with gliss line that frayed so easily, I started adding 6lb fluorocarbon. I plan to do about 2-3’ leader so that I can attach bobbers easier.
Here are my 3 set up, 2 UL rods capable of 1/32oz jig head (6’3 and 7’2), 1 Light/Fast Rod 6’7 for 1/16oz and up and dual as my bass finesse set up. All the reels modified with shallow spool.
