I'm looking for a good paddle tail for casting, I got some Mr Crappie Slabalicious black tuxedo to try, and also was looking at the Charlie Brewer double action minnow. Which paddle tail do you fellas prefer?
Edit: Also looking at the Panfish Assassin Crappie Dapper. Also the Keitech Swing Impact 2" might be good

I mostly use Slabanator's Booty Thumper (2" long) and Charlie Brewer's Crappie Slider (1.5" long). I've used the Booty Thumper most successfully when Pushing, and the Crappie Slider moreso when casting a single jig (& in double jig rigs for Livescope Flippin').

I really like the crappie swimbait from scheels. When crappies are up shallow they absolutely smash it. They are only $2 a pack too

Wow, that's awesome man, I'd love to catch a crappie like that. Still figuring these fish out, I know theyfe simple fish, but not always simple to catch. Maybe Ive been using too big of baits, Im going to get some of those CB 1.5". I see they also have 1", have you tried those? Also, whats your preferred jig head size? I like 1/32 with a #6 hook if I can get away with it

1” is good but I always got 1.5” and trim down when the damage one or when I needed, same thing. Jig head to me any weight plain no collar ( bait keeper) #6 or #8
The saying is big baits catch big fish, but I think little baits catch more fish, more often, and catch big fish too
