my first experience with crappie nibbles was about 7 years ago.

i have a spot i can fish from shore during the crappie spawn that would generally produce sporadically. i would go and hammer them or i would go and catch 1 or 2 over a couple of hours. this was frustrating at times as it was quite a trek to get there. i would use maribou jigs or tube jigs, no other bait really....then in 04, i was fishing not catching anything, when i looked at the jig package and it had a little sample tube of nibbles (not berkley ones but a dough bait nonetheless) and i put it on. immediately i caught a fish. nice slab crappie. put another one on, caught a fish. another and another and another until i had used up all 10 nibbles in the 2 tubes from the 2 packs of jigs i bought. didn't catch another fish.

i've been using nibbles ever since. been a 2 year user of the bait pump.

on maribou jigs i have a jar that i water down and dip them in.
