Fishing for Crappie with my spin rod this year, I have had the best success with:
Drop Shot, Carolina, or Jig using:
#1 - Micro Spoon plastics
#2 - Gulp Alive minnows (smelt) 1" and 2 1/2"
#3 - Tungsten head white Woolybugger (size 10 3X)
Other than live minnows, what is your favorite lure for lake Crappie?
I have nothing to do with Micro Spoons, but I think their plastic is the best by far. Soft and super tough, and a wiggly tail with realistic eyes:

Tubes are my "go-to".

2'' Southern Pro Umbrella Tube

MEATGETTER's Spanky
Most locals know I fish two baits and one color a large percentage. They call the Southern Pro Umbrella tuble in purple/chartruse rigged with a 1/8 round leadhead on #2 hook pushed inside a ''nimrod special'' and the other bait is a MEATGETTER in 1/8 in a Spanky.
Electric chicken colored Hot grub or stinger shad
Use a #4 Sparkle spoon hook

or just use a two inch live minnow on a #4 hook beneath a slip float.
3 inch curly tail...tenn. shad or solid white...cast on a 1/32 pony head willow leaf
#1 marabou and chenille jig
#2 marabou and chenille jig
#3 marabou and chenille jig
If none of them work, try a marabou and chenille jig.
#1 - 2" curly tail on a 1/16 oz. ball head jig.
#2 - Bobby Garlands Baby Shad plastics on same jig head.
#3 - Marabou jig under a bobber.
Yall ain't fooling me!! I already have $100's tied up in Bandits. More $100's in soft plastics. More $100's in minner jigs. I ain't buying no more tricks of the day. Nope. Ain't going to do it.

The next time I'm at WalMart, I'll pick up a couple bags of 1 1/2" tubes ...... only a buck for a whole bag!
