If you are going crappie fishing out of a boat with three rods and reels, and plan to cast and vertical jig for crappie during winter and pre-spawn, what lures will you have tied on? Clear water, fishing in 1-25 feet of water. What weight jigheads/lures and pound test lines?
1/32 head, #2 sickle hook, a Bobby Garland Baby Shad in Blue Ice to start
1) Any soft plastic 1.5" that looks like a baby shad on a 1/32 jig head (Chartreuse)
2) A tube 2' (Black and Chartreuse) on a 1/16th jig head
3) A soft plastic baby shad or Wax Worm on a Lindy Bottom Rig Float
Those are just what I would throw in my humble opinion. I have to fish with what I have confidence in and what has worked in the past. I try and keep all my lures within five feet of the lake bottom where I am fishing. I make my own lures but if I am buying a soft plastic it would be a Bobby Garland or Bob's Jigs lure. Always put some "SLAB SAUCE" on whatever you are fishing with.

All I ever use are Southern Pro tubes and Takeum handties . I am not a caster but flip jigs to fish with long poles . 1/8 oz except in deep or windy conditions then it is 1/4 oz
Southern Pro umbrella tube or magnum tube on 1/8 Oz head, same on 1/16oz head and a Bobby Garland baby shad on 1/16oz head.

Rod #1 .... 1/16oz marabou Road Runner
Rod #2 .... 1/16oz weedless jighead with a Slabanator Mini Rod
Rod #3 .... double jig rig for Livescope sniping (Slabanator Hot Rods, Mini Rods, or a Basstrix Flash-Trix Minnow or combination of the two)
All rods have 6# test line.
#1 , Muddy water 2.5 Bluegrass . #2, Bobby Garland baby shad in "Patriot " color . #3 The tiny dancer from "crappie Magnet " black/chartreuse . All on a pink head 1/8-1/16
1. 1/16 handtie with 4lb test mono
2. 2" Yum wooly beavertail I pour myself with 6lb Fireline
3. 1.4 Berkley Power Nymph with 2lb mon
Not in any order but Mud Bugz, Hot Rods and Devil minners (slabanators 1.75" to 2.5") depending on the depth of water 1/32 to 1/4 jigs heads. In 1 to 5 fow I would have to throw in 2" slab twisters
1 to 25 is a broad spectrum , I would likely not have them rigged for such a diverse amount of depth change .
8 or 10 to 20 or 25 maybe yes , one rod a heavy jig 1/8 probably and big , pink head white body
one 1/16 something dark ,maybe in a blue configuration and one in something smaller in a high sparkle content , maybe a 1/32 ,,,,not knowing the current trend on that lake and or the water clarity and all the other factors may or may not change my choices on what I would toss.:highfive
