CRAPPIE FISHING

Featured Replies

I think this should be posted in the other fish species section, also I am not sure what you are asking, but I like shad darts or roadrunners for crappies.

i just like a white or pink 1/16 oz jig head with a tube body....then a waxie run up under the skirt, or a gulp waxie in the same manner.

roadrunner !!!

would a soft plastic trailer (twin-tail grub, etc) be needed with that jig, or is it ready to throw "as is"?

You can fish it bare but a trailer never hurts

I buy Cabelas cheap 1/32, 1/16, and 1/8 oz ball head jigs for crappie fishing and I use them with Southern Pro Triple Tip grubs.  My two favorite colors are white body /chartreuse tail and black body/chartreuse tail for clear to stained and muddy water respectively.  I've been using these for a few years now and they are the most consistent crappie bait I've ever used.  

I did extremely well last season with a roadrunner with the swimming tail grub, also a crappie tube filled with Berkley's crappie nibbles, and Berkley Gulp & Alive 2 1/2 - 3" (Smelt) minnows.  

Gitzit Hard Times Minnow with attractant squirted inside or a small Silver/Blue Kastmaster with a red Daiichi hook

I could not believe I caught a 2lber last weekend trolling w/ an Rapalla deep diverin Lake Wylie. Thing fought great.  Never seen one that big before.

The best luck I have is with southern pro lil hustler tubes. All colors need to be on your boat because you never know what color will work day to day.
