Crappie Ready

Crappie fishing is some of the best panfish to catch and eat! 

My setup for crappie is a Daiwa Laguna spinning reel spooled up with Crappie Max 6 lb camouflage line on a Daiwa Laguna soft tip rod. The soft tip keeps pressure from pulling the hooks from the crappie's paper mouth.

Some of the brands of lures and jigs I use are pictured below. I've found the best sizes are 1/16 and lower for crappie. Color of lures and jig heads depend on water clarity and depth.



Sliders are in white/chartreuse a very effective color.



These white spoiler shad made by Creme are effective on crappie as well as other predatory fish such as largemouth and spotted bass so be aware.

Another brand that already comes with jig heads are the Uncle Bucks brand.
