98.% of the time I use a teaser ( minner critter ) 1% pony head and 1% plain hooks! !!!Quote:

All of the above all of the time. I let the fish choose what they want. If ya don't try it, you never know. I start out with several setups on different poles. If they bite at all, you'll see what they prefer. On a tough bite, I try more options. I've been trying lots of options at Butla lately. It's tough there right now, but some days a slight change makes a big difference.Quote:

What BRM said. I try to throw the kitchen sink at em till they tell me what they want. Anything and everything goes less Wannabe calls me and tells me just plain minners, then I usually tip a jig with a minner, catch my ONE fish limit (per WB) and go home.
Yes.

Had a guy tie these up for me, he tied em up with 214el hooks that bend out of stumps/brush easily. It's rubber skirting and some flash material.

Guys read my original post...tell me how you would start out
These hooks aren't lightwire, I haven't straightened one out yet and have probably fished them as much as anyone has, great fishcatchers tho.Quote:

When you start getting bites then change most to what they prefer. Nobody can tell you how they start every time. To many variables to consider like water color. Winds current, trash on water. Sometimes you may start out to tight line and get to the lake and find out the wind is blowing a lot harder than was called for. Then it is probably best to pull jigs. I always carry both set of rods when I go that way I am not stuck with one technique. I hope that answers your question. There is nothing set in stone when it comes to crappie fishing. You have got to be versitable.
.......Mitch said the new ones are.........mine are new ones and says light wire hooks on the package.Quote:

I do the same thing with Fas Snaps. Even catch a few bonus fish on the snap now and then. It's amazing to me how they can spit the hook but the tiny Fas Snap catches them.Quote:
