Anyone use these for crappie? Too bad they don't make them any lighter than 1/12 oz.

I wish Z-MAN would make some crappie and bluegill size plastics, one would last forever.
I use the nedlockz all the time. 1/5 ounce. Absolutely love them.
For sure. I did catch quite a few crappie on the 4" Scented Curly TailZ back in January. Their Finesse ShadZ is still 4" but has a smaller profile. Seems like a possibility.

I've been making my own bluegill/crappie bodies recently out of old Z-Man, Strike King and Terminator Snapback plastics. Cut in whatever shape/length you desire (you'll need a filet knife to cut the stuff!) and use a rather large needle and old spinnerbait skirting to install/create legs (either perpendicular to or diagonally/crisscross)in the bodies. Only downside is you cannot use a normal barbed jighead with them, but the Shroom heads should work. Fish love 'em! They occasionally will pull out the legs, but just install a new one. Color combinations are endless and they last forever!
I mostly fish saltwater/coastal SC and have gone to this brand exclusively. The "Finesse" series offers pretty light weight lead.
