Don't know about crappie but I used to make a buzz bait/spinner bait with them for fishing bass on Kentucky lake. Put it on swivel with snap,cut back upper wire real short and attached swivel to it. White skirt and bent the blades out from center so it would spin. It would spin for a second then stop and pop the surface. Sounded just like a shad poping the surface. Fought a lot of good ones doing that. Have several in my blade box I have never used and like you cant figure out how to rig them in a bait for crappie. Really don't know how they are supposed to be rigged.
What about in line in front of a jig and bead? Kinda like the Bumble Bee blades used to do. Slide the blade on, then the bead, then tie the jig. Food for thought.
Those blades are over 1 inch long! I would think it is better suited for a bass jig instead of a crappie jig. It could work but it may be spinner heavy. They look cool if you can get them in 0 or 00.
Might be how they are supposed to be rigged Tim. Friend bought ours 15 or so years ago to make those buzz baits with. I know they are used on some kind of live bait harness for walleye.Quote:

They make a nice live bait walleye spinner rig set up with a bottom bouncer.
I have never tried this for crappies; maybe next fall after the lakes turn over and the crappies go deep.
I rig #3 pony's for spider rigging down home on Enid they was hitting it like candy. 1/4 Oz & 3/8 Oz work well!
How about a picture of one?
Thanks
