Steve and I tried spider rigging jigs this morning at Okatibbee and didn't do too good. Water temp is still 84 and the crappie aren't on the stumps and tops yet. We'd have done better pulling cranks but I'm getting tired of that.

Gray, silver and white?

White, silver and white with red collar. This could go on and on. Lol

Chart hair, Chart flash, White body, and white head with that black and orange eye. I did good with that combo a little later in the spring when the water cleared. I had been fishing black and chart and they were just sucking it in and then I changed to the white and chart and they started smashing it.

Now ya talking. Add some sparkly streamers to the white hair.

I have always been taught clear water,dark baits.Dark water,light baits.And it makes sense in clear water all fish are darker including bait fish.And vice versa.

I was told that about cranks from kent Driscoll. Guess it works on jigs as well. Know when it's early and or cloudy, I've put on black cranks n had very good luck

REVERSE THE BLUE AND WHITE . I HAVE LEARNED WITH CRAPPIE CLEAR , MUDDY ,DARK OR LIGHT THEY WILL MAKE A GEWBER OUT OF YOU . PS PINK HEAD .
