Color cross over

Attachment 413222I am just starting to get into crappie fishing but have been making baits for a long time. I have had a stinger mold for a long time and have made baits for ledge dipping.

I have used a black/chartreuse jig lots of times for bass. I got a wild hair and made some black/chartreuse stingers that I plan to try Friday. What color head would you use?

Also I found some glow in the dark powder in my cabinet. Would that be appropriate for any crappie baits?

Those look good bud.

I will probably use a chartreuse head but it doesn’t seem to matter if the fish are heating. I prefer to use natural Colors when we are fishing for bass or Crappie. Black and chartreuse was always a good color combination to use a lot of guys would want to use orange and Chartreuse chartreuse is good with any color combination but again I prefer to use natural I like watermelon Baby Bass green pumpkin and I use a lot of silver and white laminate we use a lot of white on the trail with different body colors.

I'm with Bob. Chartreuse or green pumpkin.

I’ve never heard of green pumpkin for crappie but I am a noobie. I’ll have to pour some up and try them.

plain head works better for me 95 percent of the time.

Those are good looking baits

Nice baits!

Thanks. I’ve never tried that combination for crappie. Blue and chartreuse worked in the past but I don’t have nonbleed chartreuse so they turned green. If this wind dies down I plan to try them out tomorrow or Saturday.

Try bait plastic for all your colors everything they sell is non-bleed they have a good color selection also check out their plastic I find it to be the best.

Your baits look great. Put them on a 1/16th chartreuse head with some eyes on it and get your hot sauce ready. You could also put some stick on eyes on your lures and quick dip it in hot clear plastic to secure the eyes
on the lure. Those dogs will hunt. Good job.

Thanks for the compliment. I’m fishing 25’ and deeper. A 1/16 would take forever to get down.
