Has anyone ever heard of using live small crappie minnows on a c-rig? I over heard a man talking today and he says this works well?

Has anyone ever tried this? If so, results? I'm looking for a few new techniques.

No offense, however I guess it would probably work if you are fishing for crappie's.  

I would think that a shiner would work better for bass, however I don't ever fish with live bait so I'm not sure.  I just would think that it would take a bigger meal and a bigger minnow to keep the pan fish off of it is all.

Take care,

I've done it. I didnt fish it like a c=rig, I was anchored. We were crappie fishing. I took a 5" crappie and put it on my c=rig and cast it along side a weed bed, caught a 5 3/4 lb bass on it.

I've put live crawdads on a c=rig but didnt get bit.

For several years I fished catfish using small live minnows on a c-rig. Though there are good size bass in this lake, in all those years I never hooked a bass with this rig.

Thanks for the replies, I haven't heard of this for Bass but have for catfish and crappie so I was curious.

If you are on the bass it works, but they won't draw them. One of the biggest banes for crappie fishermen is the broken rods caused by bass.
