My fave Crappie lures!

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:

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.

HC,

Yeah, I forgot all about those tiny tubes. I've been spendin' a ton of money on Gulp and all the online expensive new lures!

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!

1/16oz weedless jig head with Y guard, #2 hook ... made by Grousefly. On that jig head I put a Microspoons body (no longer produced) or a remake version by Snake River. Second to that would be a toss up between a CrappiePro solid body tube or a Panfish Assassin.

I mostly fish southern pro tubes on 1/32 and 1/16th heads, and I fish slab daddy jigs. Did just order some from thump-it. I've brought minnows twice in the last 10 years, and don't plan to ever buy them again. I'll also fish crankbaits now and then, little spinnerbaits, and sassy shad style baits.

At this time of the year when the lakes turn over a lot of my crappie fishing will be in 20 to 30 FOW. I use a 1/8 once jig with a #6 hook tipped with power bait. Due to the colder water I keep my jig size to 1 1/2 inch.
In the summer I use the same type of jigs only with the 1/32 to 1/16 once head.Attachment 140118 Attachment 140119
