Last year I was wading Nader one day and decided to try a mini rattle trap.

Jigging that thing around took no time in convincing me that a male crappie HATES a rattle trap.

I'll also use a Johnson mini spoon with great results.

But a big 3.5" triple ripple tail grub on a Rockport Rattler with a bass rattle stuck inside and a Colorado blade above it usually works wonders!
