white crappie like the cranks, blacks not so much, you will occasionally catch a big black on one but its not a consistent thing especially this time of year, if your lake has whites then go for it, for instance last week i thought hey ill pull some cranks and just see if i can improve the size i was getting, pulled through an area and zippo, cut them off tied on jigs and caught a pile of them this lake is predominantly blacks, hope this helps.
