I really have not used any flies for crappie, but I have tied a lot of them. Here are my copy of the Crappie Candy Fly!
I have 4 colors here and think they probably would work for White Bass as well, but I don't know this for sure!
If you need the recipe just let me know and I will supply a link. I also have the Body material. It's Danville FL Wool.

What little experience I have with them, I found they wanted something somewhat natural looking and moving. A small spoon moving quick was smacked like they hated it. Hopefully someone with a bit more background will pipe up and give ya the skinny.
The white bass that I have caught seem to like white plastics on a jig.

A white or white and shad grey Clouser is probably the best choice. I'd tie it with heavy eyes so you can strip it fast and keep it deep enough.

I fish the whitebass spawn every year and you can catch them with the same flies/jigs you would use for crappie. White clousers and streamers are deadly on them. They are up the creeks this time of year so I use a 3wt fly rod. They are a blast to catch.
I caught a few shad over 16” on my 4wt a little while back, that was beyond special. A good white would be a smoker.Quote:
