This year I have done a lot more crappie fishing than normal. The older I get the more I like to fish but I only target crappie and cats but haven’t been able to get on the big rivers for cats yet this year. So with that said, I have started to get more serious about pulling crank baits. I was watching Mike Bakers videos on LOZ and wondering a couple things and hoping you guys will help me out. First, do you or do you not use a swivel? I typically tie everything right to the line but it sure would be convenient to have a swivel to quickly switch crankbaits

Second, will crappie tend to like the same colors at different lakes? Today at LOZ they seemed to prefer a chrom or shad color. Chartreuse, pink, etc didn’t draw many bites. Are there some go to baits I am missing. These are my 300s but only have a couple 200s so I figured I can work on getting both.
Thanks for the help
