Hi Friends, don't let anyone tell you that you're using too big of a jig for these Kansas Crappie. This came out of a 14" crappie, and it had two this size in it's gut. I believe they were drum but I could be wrong.

rarely do I fish anything smaller then 3/16 and 2 1/2" min usually 1/4 with 3"
Im still stuck on small baits but I am sure I fish different than most. 1/16th doubled with 1.5 to 2" grubs/tubes
I catch more crappie on 4-5 inch jerkbaits fishing for bass each spring than about anything else. Second would be a 3" power minnow on a 3/32oz jighead. I don't eat them, so I'd rather catch big ones.
We used to fish in a farm pond that you would catch crappie on a Texas rigged 8" rubber worm.
Caught several at wolf creek throwing a rattle trap for white bass.
These two were both on the 3" power minnow

Nice
What are some good tunes that are bigger than 3 inches?
At Beaver Lake caught one on a 1/2 oz jigging spoon
I love big baits. I normally use a 3 1/2" stinger shad type bait that I make when I'm single pole fishing or even spider rigging. If they're eating 3-4" shad or bigger, they'll try to eat that bait. Attachment 232941

Catch that in the front yard :Rofl
In regards to bait size, is it dependent on time of year??
I am sure each lake has its own personality but doesn't seem to make much difference to me. Sometimes machine the shad hatch is a good idea but even with that there are still larger shad in the lake.
I use my Okie Beaver 3.5" and Big Mo 4" with my new Tombstone Sound chamber on board. Works for me!
